For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid the pivot level at $35,133 to bring the first major resistance level at $36,900 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Sunday’s high $36,419.0.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $37,000 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $40,000 levels. The second major resistance level sits at $38,185.

Failure to avoid the pivot at $35,133 would bring the first major support level at $33,848 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $32,081.
