For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

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 crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $52,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $51,317.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $48,245 pivot would bring the first major support level at $47,002 into play.
