For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to move through the $41,350 pivot the 38.2% FIB of $41,592 to bring the first major resistance level at $43,023 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $43,000 levels.
Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Tuesday’s high $43,625.0 would likely cap the upside.
In the event of a broad-based crypto rebound, Bitcoin could test resistance at $45,000 levels before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $45,297.
Failure to move through the $41,350 pivot and the 38.2% FIB of $41,592 would bring the first major support level at $39,076 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $37,403.
