For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to move through the pivot level at $19,016 to bring the first major resistance level at $19,754 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break through to $19,500 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $20,000 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $20,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $20,693.
Failure to move through the $19,016 pivot would bring the first major support level at $18,077 into play.
Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should continue to steer clear of sub-$18,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $17,339.
