The near-term bullish trend remained intact in spite of the latest reversal. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $27,237 to form a near-term bearish trend.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall back through the $48,971 pivot to bring the 23.6% FIB of $50,473 and the first major resistance level at $50,829 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from $50,500 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $51,000 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $53,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $52,530.

Failure to avoid a fall back through the $48,971 would bring the first major support level at $47,270 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$45,000 levels. The second major support level at $45,412 should limit the downside.
