Major support is seen at $37,000 (Mar 7th low). Any drop below this level would revert to the previous bearish conditions, with a possible dip to levels of $34,000/$32,950 (Jan 24th low)/$30,000/$28,600.
Intraday trend reversal may happen if Bitcoin closes above $41,700. A jump to $42,600 (Mar 9th high)/$45,356 (200- day EMA)/$50,000 is possible.
