For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to move back through to $7,720 to support another run at the first major resistance level at $7,887.20.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through the 38.2% FIB of $7,730.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, resistance at $7,800 would likely leave Bitcoin short the first major resistance level.

In the event of a breakout, the second major resistance level at $7,887.20 would likely come into play.

Failure to move back through to $7,720 levels could see Bitcoin struggle in the day.

A fall back through the morning low $7,679.7 would bring the first major support level at $7,668.10 back into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should steer of sub-$7,500 support levels.

The second major support level at $7,558.6 would likely limit any downside.
