Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 2.89% on Saturday. Following on from a 0.04% gain on Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $59,812.0.

A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning intraday low $57,900.0 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $57,602, Bitcoin rallied to an early morning intraday high $61,243.0.

Bitcoin broke through the day’s major resistance levels to come within range of the March swing hi $61,699.0 before hitting reverse.

The reversal saw Bitcoin slide back to sub-$58,500 levels before finding support.

Bitcoin broke back through the first major resistance level at $58,777 and the second major resistance level at $59,420 to end the day at $59,800 levels.

The near-term bullish trend remained intact supported by the latest move back through to $61,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $26,041 to form a near-term bearish trend.

The Rest of the Pack

Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Saturday.

Polkadot fell by 0.88% to buck the trend on the day.

It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however.

Ripple’s XRP surged by 34.82% to lead the way, with Litecoin rallying by 15.75%.

Binance Coin  (+3.96%), Crypto.com Coin (+2.81%), and Ethereum (+3.22%) made relatively solid gains.

Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.32%), Cardano’s ADA (+1.21%), and Chainlink (+1.03%) trailed the front runners, however.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall back through the pivot level at $59,652 to bring the first major resistance level at $61,403 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $61,243.0.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at the March swing hi $61,699 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $65,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $62,995.

Failure to avoid a fall back through the $59,652 pivot would bring the first major support level at $58,060 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer well clear of the second major support level at $56,309.
