For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from $48,500 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s swing hi $48,945.0 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $50,491.
Failure to avoid a fall back through the $47,398 pivot would bring the first major support level at $45,851 into play.
Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$45,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $44,305.
