For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $55,517 to bring the first major resistance level at $57,024 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $56,655.0.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $57,500 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $60,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $58,162.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $55,517 pivot would bring the first major support level at $54,379 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $52,872.
