Bitcoin Cash Price Analysis
This week, there were further slides in bitcoin, ripple, Ethereum, and bitcoin cash against the US Dollar. Earlier, the BCH/USD pair corrected higher and broke the $115 resistance level. However, the pair failed to gain pace above the $120 resistance. A rejection pattern was formed near $120 and the price declined below the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). The price traded lower below the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $104 low to $121 swing high. The decline was such that the price tested the $110 support.
It seems like 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $104 low to $121 swing high protected losses. The pair jumped higher, but once again the $120 resistance acted as a resistance. More importantly, there is a significant bearish trend line formed with resistance at $115 on the 4-hours chart of the BCH/USD pair. A successful close above the trend line, $120, and the 55 SMA is needed for a decent rebound. The next resistance is near the $126 level, above which the price could trade towards $134. If there is no upside break above $120, the price could decline towards the $110 or $105 support levels.
Looking at the chart, bitcoin cash price is likely preparing for the next break either above $120 or below $110. Having said that, a successful daily close above $120 is must for a sustained upward move.
