The Crypto Daily – Movers and Shakers – March 22nd, 2021

Bitcoin, BTC to USD, fell by 1.20% on Sunday. Reversing a 0.08% gain from Saturday, Bitcoin ended the week down by 2.77% to $57,366.0.

A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning intraday high $58,584.0 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $59,453, Bitcoin slide to a late morning intraday low $55,357.0.

The first major support level at $57,253 limited the downside late in the day.

The near-term bullish trend remained intact in spite of last week’s pullback. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $26,041 to form a near-term bearish trend.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall back through the pivot level at $57,102 to bring the first major resistance level at $58,848 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Sunday’s high $58,584.0.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $59,000 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at the swing hi $61,699.0. The second major resistance level sits at $60,329.

Failure to avoid a fall back through the $57,102 pivot would bring the first major support level at $55,621 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$55,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $53,875.
