The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported the latest return to $49,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need a sustained fall through the 62% FIB of $27,237 to form a near-term bearish trend.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid the $48,551 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $50,204 and the 23.6% FIB of $50,473 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $50,000 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the 23.6% FIB of $50,473 would likely cap the upside.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $54,000 levels before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $53,763.

A fall through the $48,551 would bring the first major support level at $47,598 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$46,500. The second major support level sits at $45,945.
