Bitcoin once again found support of the Gann Fan 2/1 line yesterday. The virtual currency ended on a weaker note at $2754 and was last seen trading around $2760 levels. The Gann Fan line is seen offering support round $2710 levels today.

The currency failed to rally over the weekend, even though the miners signaled their support for the Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) 91, avoiding a split of Bitcoin into two blockchains. The support for BIP 91 reached 100% on Friday, well exceeding the required 80% threshold.

As per coinmarketcap.com, Bitcoin hasn’t really moved much during the last 24 hours. Other virtual currencies - Ethereum, Ripple are flat lined as well. Litecoin shed 2.06%. The total market cap of the virtual currencies stands at $94.54 billion. The BTC dominance rate is stagnant around 47.5%.

Technicals

Resistance

  • $2848 (previous day’s high)
  • $2957 (Thursday’s high)
  • $3000

Support

  • $2910 (Gann Fan support)
  • $2608.27 (supp on 4-hour chart)
  • $2436 (upward sloping 4-hour 50-MA)

Daily chart

  • We await range breakout. The odds of a bullish break are high, given the RSI has breached the downtrend line and the bears have failed for three trading sessions to cut through Gann fan 2/1 support.
  • A rebound from $2710 followed by a move above $2848 would open doors for fresh record highs above $3000.
  • On the downside, only a daily close below $2608 would revive the bearish view.
