In the event of another breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $68,000 levels before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $66,404.

A fall through the $63,351 would bring the first major support level at $62,280 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$60,000 levels, The second major support level at $60,298 should limit the downside.
