For the Afternoon Ahead
Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall back through the $46,565 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $47,441 back into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high $47,167.0.
Barring an extended crypto rally through the afternoon, the first major resistance level and Monday’s high $48,069 would likely cap any upside
In the event of an extended rally, however, Bitcoin could target $49,000 levels before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $48,945.
A fall back through the $46,565 pivot would bring the first major support level at $45,061 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$45,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $44,185.
Looking beyond the support and resistance levels, we saw the 50 EMA pull away from the 100 and 200 EMAs through the late morning. This was after a narrowing through the early hours. We also saw the100 EMA pull away from the 200 EMA. The bullish mid-morning signals supported the late morning rally.
A continued widening of the 50 EMA from the 100 and the 200 EMAs this afternoon would bring $49,000 levels into play.
Avoiding a fall back through the $46,565 will be key in the early afternoon.
