It's a mixed start to the day for the majors. A Bitcoin move back through to $55,000 levels should provide the broader market with support.

Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 0.49% on Tuesday. Partially reversing a 5.70% slide from Monday, Bitcoin ended the day at $54,336.8.

A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin slide from an early morning high $55,288.0 to an early morning intraday low $52,812.0.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $52,338, Bitcoin rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $55,822.3.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $57,163, Bitcoin eased back to end the day at sub-$54,500 levels.

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

The Rest of the Pack

Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Tuesday.

Crypto.com Coin slid by 10.84% to lead the way down.

Chainlink (-1.79%), Ethereum (-0.79%), and Polkadot (-3.26%) also saw red to buck the trend on the day.

It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however.

Bitcoin Cash SV rallied by 5.42% to lead the way.

Binance Coin  (+0.21%), Cardano’s ADA (+1.33%), Litecoin (+0.06%), and Ripple’s XRP (+0.52%) and also joined Bitcoin in the green.

In the current week, the crypto total market rose to a Monday high $1,802bn before sliding to a Tuesday low $1,607bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $1,653bn.

Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Monday high 61.63% before falling to a Tuesday low 60.20%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 61.06%.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to move back through the pivot level at $54,324 to bring the first major resistance level at $55,835 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Tuesday’s high $55,822.3.

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 $58,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $57,334.

Failure to move back through the $54,324 pivot would bring the first major support level at $52,825 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$50,000 levels. The second major support level at $51,313 should limit the downside.
