For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $10,800 to bring the first major resistance level at $10,945 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $10,900 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $11,000 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $11,035 and resistance at $11,100 levels before any pullback.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $10,800 pivot would bring the first major support level at $10,710 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$10,600 levels. The second major support level sits at $10,565.
