For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to move through the pivot level at $45,334 to bring the first major resistance level at $46,890 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $46,000 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $47,000 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at Tuesday’s swing hi $48,277.0. The second major resistance level sits at $48,940.

Failure to move through the $45,334 pivot would bring the first major support level at $43,284 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $41,728.
