Bitcoin Cash Price Analysis

Earlier this week, bitcoin cash price started a fresh increase above the $225 and $230 resistance levels against the US Dollar. BCH price even settled above the $230 level and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours).

Finally, the price spiked above the $240 level and it is currently facing a strong resistance near the $245 level. A high is formed near the $245 level and the price is currently correcting lower.

There is a major bullish trend line forming with support near $230 on the 4-hours chart of the BCH/USD pair. The trend line is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent increase from the $215 swing low to $245 high.

More importantly, the 55 simple moving average (4-hours) is also near the trend line support at $230. If bitcoin cash price fails to stay above the trend line support and $230, there is a risk of a nasty decline in the coming sessions.
