In this article:

Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 3.77% on Sunday. Reversing a 0.20% loss from Saturday, Bitcoin ended the week up by 6.11% to $51,779.0.

A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning intraday low $49,470.0 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $49,352, Bitcoin rallied to a late intraday high $51,900.0.

Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $50,495 and the second major resistance level at $51,091.

The breakout also saw Bitcoin break back through the 23.6% FIB of $50,473 to end the day at $51,700 levels.

The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest return to $51,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need a sustained fall through the 62% FIB of $27,237 to form a near-term bearish trend.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid the $51,050 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $52,630 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through $52,000 levels.

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

In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $55,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $53,480.

A fall through the $51,050 pivot would bring the 23.6% FIB of $50,473 and the first major support level at $50,200 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$49,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $48,620.
