For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $50,446 to bring the first major resistance level at $51,996 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from this morning’s high $51,682.0.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $52,000 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $54,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $52,993.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $50,446 pivot would bring the first major support level at $49,449 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear sub-$49,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $47,899.
