Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from February’s swing hi $58,321.2.
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 $62,000. The second major resistance level sits at $60,713.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $56,848 pivot would bring the first major support level at $55,430 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear sub-$54,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $52,983.
