Bitcoin, BTC to USD, slid by 3.60% on Tuesday. Reversing a 0.90% gain from Monday, Bitcoin ended the day at $11,341.4.
A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning intraday high $11,778.0 before hitting reverse.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $11,875, Bitcoin slid to a late afternoon intraday low $11,137.0.
Bitcoin fell through the day’s major support levels before a brief recovery to $11,400 levels.
The late recovery saw Bitcoin move back through the third major support level at $11,256 to reduce the deficit on the day.
The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $12,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend.

Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day.
Binance Coin (+1.39%) and Tron’s TRX (+1.51%) led the way early on.
Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.62%), EOS (+0.19%), Monero’s XMR (+0.37%), Ripple’s XRP (+0.04%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+0.32%) also found early support.
It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to move through the pivot level at $11,419 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $11,701.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out $11,500 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $12,060 before any pullback.
Failure to move through the $11,419 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $11,060 into play.
Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should avoid sub-$11,000 levels and the second major support level at $10,778.
