A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $17,220.0 before hitting reverse.

Polkadot fell by 1.68% to buck the trend on the day.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $17,527 to bring the first major resistance level at $18,129 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 a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $18,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $18,512.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $17,527 pivot would bring the first major support level at $17,144 into play.

Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$17,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $16,542.
