Bitcoin, BTC to USD, fell by 3.04% on Thursday. Following a 1.07% loss on Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $32,857.0.
A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning intraday high $33,939.0 before hitting reverse.
Falling well short of the first major resistance level at $34,713, Bitcoin tumbled to a late morning intraday low $32,063.0.
The extended sell-off saw Bitcoin fall through the first major support level at $33,437 and the second major support level at $32,986.
Steering clear of sub-$32,000 support, levels, Bitcoin revisited $33,100 levels before a fall back to sub-$33,000 levels.
The brief return to $33,000 levels had seen Bitcoin move back through the second major support level before sliding back.
The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest return to $32,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need a sustained fall through the 62% FIB of $27,237 to form a near-term bearish trend.

Bitcoin Cash SV rose by 1.46% to buck the trend on the day.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to move through the $32,953 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $33,843 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from $33,500 levels.
Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $33,939.0 would likely cap any upside.
