Bitcoin, BTC to USD, fell by 4.30% on Thursday. Following a 2.38% decline on Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $33,554.4.
Bearish from the start to the day, Bitcoin fell from an early morning intraday high $35,069.0 to a late intraday low $32,720.0.
Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $34,294 and the second major support level at $33,526.
Steering clear of sub-$32,000 support levels, however, Bitcoin broke back through the second major support level to end the day at $33,550 levels.
The near-term bullish trend remained intact in spite of the latest slide back to sub-$30,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need a sustained fall through the 62% FIB of $27,237 to form a near-term bearish trend.
The Rest of the Pack
Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Thursday.
Crypto.com Coin rose by 2.37% to buck the trend on the day.

Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.98%), Cardano’s ADA (-3.82%), and Polkadot (-3.30%) saw relatively modest losses, however.

Elsewhere, it was a bullish start to the day.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to move back through the $33,781 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $34,842 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from $34,500 levels.
Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $35,069 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $36,130.
Failure to move back through the $33,781 pivot would bring the first major support level at $32,493 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$30,000 levels. The second major support level at $31,432 should limit the downside.
