Finding late support, however, Bitcoin wrapped up the day at $57,480 levels.

The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported the latest return to $57,000 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 avoid the $56,580 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $58,730 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $58,000 levels.

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

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $60,000 levels before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $59,971.

A fall through the $56,580 would bring the first major support level at $55,339 into play.
