Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 4.37% on Thursday. Following a 2.47% gain on Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $39,226.0.

A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning intraday low $37,190.0 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $36,266, Bitcoin rallied to a late morning intraday high $39,482.0.

Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $38,555 and the second major resistance level at $39,533.

A late morning pullback, however, saw Bitcoin fall back through the major resistance levels before finding late support.

Late in the day, Bitcoin broke back through the first major resistance level to wrap up the day at $39,000 levels.

The near-term bullish trend remained intact supported by the latest move back through to $39,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need a sustained fall through the 62% FIB of $27,237 to form a near-term bearish trend.

Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Thursday.

Polkadot bucked the trend, falling by 0.25%.

It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid the $38,629 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $40,079 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Thursday’s high $39,482.0.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at the 38.2% FIB of $41,592. The second major resistance level sits at $40,932.
