For Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin should avoid a fall through the pivot level at $ 15,132 to bring the first major resistance level at $ 16,160 into play.
However, broader market support would be needed for Bitcoin to break out of Thursday’s high of $ 15,723.6.
Barring an extended cryptocurrency rally, the first major resistance level would likely limit any upside.
In the event of another crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $ 16,751.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $ 15,132 pivot would bring the first major support level at $ 14,540 into play.
Barring an extensive cryptocurrency sell-off, Bitcoin should continue to avoid levels below $ 14,500. The second major support level is found at $ 13,513.
