The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, however, in spite of the upward trend.
For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend.

Tezos led the way, rallying by 11.47%.

Bitcoin Cash ABC (+4.02%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+4.72%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+4.94%) weren’t far behind.
Binance Coin (+2.50%), Litecoin (+3.80%), Ripple’s XRP (+2.75%), and Tron’s TRX (+3.1%) trailed the pack on the day.
Through the start of the week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Tuesday low $279.65bn before rising to an early Wednesday high $296.27. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $296.27bn.

This Morning
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.2% to $10,268.0. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $10,246.0 to a high $10.314.0.
Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day.
Binance Coin was down by 0.38% to buck the trend early on.
It was a bullish start for the rest of the pack, with Ethereum up by 2.15% to lead the way. Stellar’s Lumen (+1.16%) and Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.01%) also found strong support early on.
For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to move back through to $10,300 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $10,468.67 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break through to $10,400 levels.
Barring another broad-based crypto rally, resistance at $10,400 would likely leave Bitcoin short of the first major resistance level.
In the event of another breakout, Bitcoin would eye a breakout from $10,500 levels before any pullback.
Failure to move back through to $10,300 levels could see Bitcoin hit reverse
A fall back through the morning low $10,246 to sub-$10,095 levels would bring the first major support level at $9,872.67 into play.
Barring a crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the sub-$9,800 levels on the day.
