Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rallied by 4.79% on Friday. Reversing a 4.39% slide from Thursday, Bitcoin ended the day at $49,079.0.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to avoid the $48,200 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $50,038 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from $49,500 levels.
Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $50,000 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $50,996. Bitcoin would need plenty of support, however, to breakout from the 23.6% FIB of $50,473.
A fall through the $48,200 pivot would bring the first major support level at $47,242 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$46,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $45,404.
