It was a bullish week for Bitcoin and the broader market. Bitcoin slipped to a Monday intraweek low $10,943.0 before making a move.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $9,967, Bitcoin rallied to a Friday intraweek high $11,900.

5 days in the green that included a 4.93% rally on Wednesday delivered the upside for the week.
For the week ahead
Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through $11,506 pivot to support another run the first major resistance level at $12,069 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from the current week high $12,060.
Barring another extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a breakout, Bitcoin could break out from the second major resistance level at $12,463 to target $13,000 levels.
A fall through the $11,506 pivot would bring the first major support level at $11,112 into play.
