For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to avoid the 38.2% FIB of $7,730 to support another run at the first major resistance level at $7,800.33.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for a break out from the early high $7,844.0.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the second major resistance level at $7,849.97 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a breakout, Bitcoin could test the third major resistance level at $7,971.87 before any pullback.
Failure to avoid the 38.2% FIB of $7,730 could see Bitcoin struggle later in the day.
A fall back through the morning low $7,705.1 would bring the first major support level at $7,678.43 back into play.
Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should steer of sub-$7,600 support levels.
The second major support level at $7,606.17 would likely limit any downside.
