For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to move through the $57,566 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $58,276 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $58,000 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $58,488.0. would likely cap the upside.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $60,000 levels before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $59,199.

Failure to move through the $57,566 would bring the first major support level at $56,643 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$55,000, The second major support level at $55,933 should limit the downside.
