Crypto.com Coin (-0.48%), Ethereum (-2.03%), Litecoin (-2.97%), and Ripple’s XRP (-0.03%) joined Bitcoin in the red.

Polkadot lead the way, rallying by 4.09%, with Binance Coin (+1.75%) and Chainlink (+1.41%) also finding relatively strong support.
Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.32%) and Cardano’s ADA (+0.89%) trailed the front runners, however.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to move through the $61,483 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $62,952 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from $62,500 levels.
Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $63,729.0 would likely cap the upside.
In the event of another breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $65,000 levels before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $65,199.
Failure to move through the $61,483 would bring the first major support level at $59,236 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$58,000 levels, however. The second major support level sits at $57,767.
