It's a bearish start to the day for Bitcoin. A break out from Tuesday's high of $14,066 should support the broader market.

Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $13,863 to wrap up the day at $14,000 levels.
The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $14,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend.

Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $13,799 to bring the first major resistance level at $14,297 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Tuesday’s $14,066.0 high.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $14,300 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of another crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $14,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $14,564.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $13,799 pivot would bring the first major support level at $13,532 into play.
Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$13,500 levels. The second major support level sits at $13,034.
