The near-term bullish trend remained intact supported by the latest move back through to $61,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $26,041 to form a near-term bearish trend.

Crypto.com Coin fell by 2.32% to lead the way down.

It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to move back through the pivot level at $60,021 to bring the first major resistance level at $60,733 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break through Sunday’s high $60,722.0.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance $61,000 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at the March swing hi $61,699 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $61,435.

Failure to move back through the $60,021 pivot would bring the first major support level at $59,319 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer well clear of the second major support level at $58,607.
