A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning intraday low $55,653.0 before making a move.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $55,364, Bitcoin rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $58,379.0.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to avoid the $57,387 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $59,122 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $59,000 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 $62,000 levels before easing back. The second major resistance level sits at $60,113.
A fall through the $57,387 pivot would bring the first major support level at $56,396 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 $54,661.
