For the week ahead
Bitcoin would need to avoid the $46,501 pivot to support a run the first major resistance level at $49,557 and the 23.6% FIB of $50,473.
Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from last week’s high $48,819.0.

A fall through the $46,501 pivot would bring the first major support level at $44,182 into play.
