Following a mixed day for the broader market on Saturday, a Bitcoin move back through to $33,000 levels would deliver support.
Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 2.44% on Saturday. Partially reversing an 8.86% slide from Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $32,355.7.
A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to a mid-morning intraday high $32,661.0 before hitting reverse.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $34,299, Bitcoin slid to a late morning intraday low $30,206.0.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $30,068, Bitcoin move back through to $32,300 levels and into the green.
A final hour rally delivered most of the upside on the day.
The near-term bullish trend remained intact in spite of the latest slide back to sub-$30,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need a sustained fall through the 62% FIB of $27,237 to form a near-term bearish trend.
Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day for the majors on Saturday.
Chainlink (+0.21%), Ethereum (+1.11%), Litecoin (+1.47%), and Ripple’s XRP (+0.81%) saw relatively modest gains on the day, supported by a final hour recovery.
It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however.
Bitcoin Cash SV and Crypto.com Coin fell by 4.91% and by 4.37% to lead the way down.
Binance Coin (-0.42%), Cardano’s ADA (-0.05%), and Polkadot (-1.56%) also saw red.

Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Elsewhere, it was a bullish start to the day.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash SV was up by 5.01% to lead the way.
Bitcoin would need to avoid the $31,741 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $33,276 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $32,661.0.
Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, the first major resistance level and resistance at $33,500 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $35,000. The second major resistance level sits at $34,196.
A fall through the $31,741 pivot would bring the first major support level at $30,821 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $29,286.
