The near-term bullish trend remained intact supported by the return to $54,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $24,751 to form a near-term bearish trend.

Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.23%) and Chainlink (-1.01%) saw red to buck the trend on the day.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $53,967 to bring the first major resistance level at $55,943 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from this morning’s high $55,666.0.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $56,000 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at February’s swing hi $58,321.2 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $56,930.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $53,967 pivot would bring the first major support level at $52,980 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear sub-$52,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $51,006.
