For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $18,032 to bring the first major resistance level at $18,508 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break through to $18,500 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $19,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $18,820.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $18,032 pivot would bring the first major support level at $17,720 into play.

Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$17,500 levels. The second major support level sits at $17,244.
