For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid the $53,839 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $57,239 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from $56,500 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap the upside.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $60,000 levels before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $59,144.

A fall through the $53,839 would bring the first major support level at $51,934 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$50,000 and the second major support level at $48,534. The 23.6% FIB of $50,473 should limit the downside.
