For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to move through the pivot level at $34,984 to bring the first major resistance level at $37,980 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $37,000 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $38,710.7 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $40,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $41,707.

Failure to move through the $34,984 pivot would bring 23.6% FIB of $33,008 and the first major support level at $31,256 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$30,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $28,260.
