Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from last week’s high $63,666.0.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $65,000 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $70,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $66,927. Bitcoin would need plenty of support, however, to breakout from October’s ATH $66,958.0.
A fall through the $60,867 pivot would bring the first major support level at $58,069 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of the sub-$57,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $54,807.
