For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to move through the $47,375 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $48,026 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $48,000 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Tuesday’s high $48,244.0 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $50,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $48,894.

Failure to move through the $47,375 pivot would bring the first major support level at $46,507 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$45,000 levels. The second major support level at $45,856 should limit the downside.
