In this article:

Bitcoin, BTC to USD, slid by 5.62% on Thursday. Reversing a 0.47% gain from Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $56,963.0.

A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to a early morning intraday high $60,945.0 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $61,347, Bitcoin slid to a late intraday low $56,555.0.

The extended sell-off saw Bitcoin fall through the first major support level at $58,864 and the second major support level at $57,374.

Steering clear of sub-$56,000, however, Bitcoin found support to end the day at $56,900 levels.

The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback to sub-$57,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need a sustained fall through the 62% FIB of $28,814 to form a near-term bearish trend.

The Rest of the Pack

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

Crypto.com Coin bucked the trend on the day, rallying by 5.49%.

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

Litecoin tumbled by 11.06% to lead the way, with Bitcoin Cash SV and Chainlink sliding by 8.63% and by 8.97% respectively.

Binance Coin (-7.99%), Cardano’s ADA (-4.73%), Ethereum (-6.80%), Polkadot (-3.18%), and Ripple’s XRP (-5.11%) also saw heavy losses.

In the current week, the crypto total market rose to a Monday high $2,902bn before falling to a Thursday low $2,408bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $2,469bn.

Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Wednesday high 44.55% before falling to a Thursday low 43.02%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 43.73%.

This Morning

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.47% to $57,231.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $56,732.0 before rising to a high $57,394.0.

Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day.

Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.78%), Cardano’s ADA (-0.02%), Crypto.com Coin (-0.56%), and Polkadot (-0.53%) were in the red early on.

It’s been a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to move through the $58,154 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $59,754 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to breakout from $58,500 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap the upside.

In the event of an extended rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $63,000 levels before easing back. The second major resistance level sits at $62,544.

Failure to move through the $58,154 pivot would bring the first major support level at $55,364 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $53,764 and the 23.6% FIB of $53,628.
