Continuing to avoid the first major support level at $57,115, Bitcoin found late support to revisit $59,000 levels before falling back into the red.

The near-term bullish trend remained intact supported by the March gain. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $26,041 to form a near-term bearish trend.

Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed start to the month on Thursday.

Cardano’s ADA (-0.78%) and Ripple’s XRP (-0.04%) joined Bitcoin in the red.

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

Binance Coin  rallied by 10.58% to lead the way.

Bitcoin Cash SV (+4.32%), Chainlink (+2.37%), Ethereum (+2.52%), and Litecoin (+2.93%) also found strong support.

Crypto.com Coin (+0.67%) and Polkadot (+1.00%) trailed the front runners on the day.

Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day for the majors.

Binance Coin (+2.43%), Cardano’s ADA (+0.20%), Polkadot (+0.31%), and Ripple’s XRP (+0.95%) found early support.

It was a bearish start for the rest of the pack, however.

At the time of writing, Crypto.com Coin was down by 1.04% to lead the way down.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to move back through the pivot level at $58,721 to bring the first major resistance level at $59,486 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $59,400 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $60,000 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at 14^th March swing hi $61,699.0 before easing back. The second major resistance level sits at $60,249.

Failure to move back through the $58,721 pivot would bring the first major support level at $57,958 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$57,000 levels. The second major support level at $57,193 should limit the downside.
