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.

At the time of writing, Cardano’s ADA and Crypto.com Coin were up by 1.76% and by 1.70%, with Ripple’s XRP up by 1.79% to lead the way.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall back through the pivot level at $51,608 to bring the first major resistance level at $52,866 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from $52,500 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $53,116.0 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $55,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $54,374.

Failure to avoid a fall back through the $51,608 pivot would bring the first major support level at $50,100 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $48,842 and the 23.6% FIB of $48,082.
