Bitcoin would need to avoid the $52,679 pivot to support a run the first major resistance level at $58,462.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from last week’s high $56,450.0.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

A fall through the $52,679 pivot would bring the 23.6% FIB of $50,473 and the first major support level at $48,909 into play.
