For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to move through the pivot level at $13,082 to bring the first major resistance level at $13,313 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $13,300 levels.

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

In the event of another crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $13,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $13,590.

Failure to move through the $13,082 pivot would bring the first major support level at $12,805 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer well clear of sub-$12,800 levels. The second major support level sits at $12,574.
