However, the failure to overcome the resistance zone at $52,598 had the flagship crypto sliding to $50,438, its late morning low. BTC secured support around the 23.6% Fibonacci at $50,438. That was after avoiding its initial critical support at $49,741.

The Afternoon Ahead
Bitcoin had to avoid breaching the pivot at $50,830 to test the initial crucial resistance located at the $52,000 price mark. However, the $53,000 resistance will prevent BTC from surging high with exhausted bullish moves.
Meanwhile, continuous rally during the afternoon session might see BTC retesting the resistance at $55,000. The 2nd critical resistance is at $53,689. On the other hand, falling through the pivot near $50,832 will see Bitcoin hitting 23.6% Fibonacci of $50,473 before touching the $49,741 support area.
However, BTC will avoid the support at sub-$49,000 without an extended plunge in the afternoon. For now, BTC has its 2nd crucial support at $47,975. Besides the resistance and support levels, the 50 EMA moves away from the 100 EMA and the 200 EMA during early sessions.
With its current momentum, BTC bulls appear prepared to take the leading digital token towards $55K. Is that possible? Feel free to comment in the section below.
