The U.S. jobs data, scheduled for release later in the day, will provide cues on the Fed's interest rate trajectory.
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, "Bitcoin is back above $59,000 after a day of severe downside. The next important level to look for is $63,000 resistance, the breach of which can start a reversal."
Meanwhile, Rajagopal Menon, Vice President at WazirX, said, "Bitcoin saw a slight rebound on Friday but remains under key support levels amid concerns over high U.S. interest rates after the Federal Reserve meeting, transitioning it into a bear market from its March highs."
Rising by 3.76% in 24 hours to $59,766, it's down 22% from its March peak. Hindered by the absence of positive catalysts and expectations of prolonged high rates, spot ETF launches couldn't uplift market sentiment amidst these challenges, Rajagopal said.

Bitcoin holds steady above $57,000 despite a $37 million outflow from BlackRock's IBIT ETF, signaling shifts in sentiment. Immediate resistance lies at $61,700, with support at $56,625.
A Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 44 indicates a neutral market. Trading below the 50-day EMA of $61,500 indicates a potential bearish bias.
On the 4-hour chart, Bitcoin faces a barrier at $59,570, previously resistance. Failure to cross it could push prices down to $56,600 or below, with $55,000 acting as a critical level. Conversely, a break above $59,570 could target resistances at $61,500 and $64,650, indicating bullish sentiment. Bitcoin's market position depends on sustaining or breaking the $59,570 pivot point.
