Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $17,103 and the second major resistance level at $17,486.

Coming up short of $18,000 levels, Bitcoin briefly fell back through the second major resistance level.

Finding late support, however, Bitcoin broke back through the second major resistance level to wrap up the day at $17,670 levels.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $17,342 to bring the first major resistance level at $18,148 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break through to $18,000 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $18,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $18,622.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $17,342 pivot would bring the first major support level at $16,868 into play.

Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer well clear of sub-$16,500 levels. The second major support level sits at $16,062.
