Bitcoin, BTC to USD, slid by 4.75% on Saturday. Reversing a 1.79% gain from Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $35,564.0.
A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning intraday high $37,461.3 before hitting reverse.
Falling well short of the first major resistance level at $38,016, Bitcoin slid to a late morning intraday low $34,630.0.
The extended sell-off saw Bitcoin fall through the first major support level at $36,295 and the second major support level at $35,251.
Steering clear of sub-$35,000 levels, however, Bitcoin broke back through the second major resistance level to revisit $36,000 levels before easing back.
Going into the 2nd half of the day, the first major support level had pinned Bitcoin back.
The near-term bullish trend remained in spite of the latest fall back to sub-$35,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need a sustained fall through the 62% FIB of $27,237 to form a near-term bearish trend.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to move through the $35,885 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $37,140 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $37,000 levels.
Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Saturday’s high $37,461.3 would likely cap any upside.
