For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to move through the $65,565 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $68,264 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $68,000 levels.
Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Wednesday’s ATH $68,958.0 would likely cap the upside.
In the event of an extended rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $70,000. The second major resistance level sits at $71,657.
Failure to move through the $65,565 pivot would bring the first major support level at $62,172 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$60,000 levels, however. The second major support level sits at $59,473.
