For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to break back through to $8,900 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $9,010.80 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Tuesday’s high $8,968.0.
Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely pin Bitcoin back on the day.
In the event of rebound, the second major resistance level at $9,210.20 would likely limit any upside on the day.
Failure to break back through to $8,900 levels would likely see Bitcoin fall back into the red.
A fall through to sub-$8,770 levels would bring the first major support level at $8,569.20 into play.
In the event of another extended sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$8,000 levels. The second major support level at $8,327.0 should limit any downside.
