Steering clear of the first major support level at $30,717, Bitcoin moved back through to $35,000 levels to deliver the upside for the week.

4 days in the green that included a 4.14% rally on Tuesday delivered the upside for the week.

For the week ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall back through the $34,859 pivot to support a run the first major resistance level at $37,017.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from last week’s high $36,600.0.

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

In the event of an extended breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $40,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $38,759.

Failure to avoid a fall back through the $34,859 pivot would bring the first major support level at $33,117 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$30,000 levels. The second major support level at $30,959 should limit the downside.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 1.11% to $34,883.0. A bearish start to the week saw Bitcoin fall from an early Monday high $35,280.0 to a low $34,773.0.
