Finding support late in the day Bitcoin broke back through the support levels to wrap up the day at $16,000 levels.

The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $16,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $8,768 to form a near-term bearish trend.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to move back through the pivot level at $16,029 to bring the first major resistance level at $16,343 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $16,315.0.

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 resistance at $16,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $16,629.

Failure to move back through the $16,029 pivot would bring the first major support level at $15,743 into play.

Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer well clear of sub-$15,500 levels. The second major support level sits at $15,429.
