The pullback saw Bitcoin fall back through the first major support level to end the week at $46,000 levels.
3 days in the red that included an 11.06% tumble on Tuesday delivered the downside for the week.
For the week ahead
Bitcoin would need to move through the $47,382 pivot to support a run the 23.6% FIB of $50,473 and the first major resistance level at $51,545.
Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $50,000 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $55,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $57,050. Bitcoin would need plenty of support, however, to breakout from last week’s high $52,888.0.
Failure to move through the $47,382 pivot would bring the first major support level at $41,877 and the 38.2% FIB of $40,592 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $37,714.
