Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Friday’s high $11,440.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could eye the second major resistance level at $11,710.
Failure to move through the $11,260 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $11,080 into play.
Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$11,000 levels and the second major support level at $10,810.
