Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $48,000 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Tuesday’s new swing hi $48,277.0 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $50,000. The second major resistance level sits at $49,825.
Failure to avoid a fall back through the $46,608 pivot would bring the first major support level at $44,940 into play.
Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $43,391.
