For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to move through the pivot level at $49,337 to bring the first major resistance level at $53,675 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $50,000 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Monday’s high $54,138.0 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 $58,475.
Failure to move through the $49,337 pivot would bring the 23.6% FIB of $45,501 and the first major support level at $44,537 into play.
Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $40,199.
