For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Friday’s high $48,464.0.
Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at the 23.6% FIB of $50,473 would likely cap the upside.
In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $53,000 levels before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $51,795.
A fall through the $46,642 would bring the first major support level at $44,820 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$44,000 and the 38.2% FIB of $41,592. The second major support level sits at $41,489.
