For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
For the day ahead, Bitcoin would need to move through to $8,320 levels to support a run at $8,400 levels.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however for Bitcoin to break through the first major resistance level at $8,468.47.
Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high $8,478 would likely limit any upside.
Failure to move through to $8,320 levels could see Bitcoin fall back into the red.
A fall through the early morning low $8,254.0 would bring the first major support level at $8,150.87 into play.
Barring a crypto meltdown, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$8,100 levels on the day.
