Bitcoin Cash Price Resistance
There was a slow and steady rise initiated from the $471 low in bitcoin cash price against the US Dollar. The BCH/USD pair climbed higher and managed to settle above the $500 resistance level. There was also a break above the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last key decline from the $594 swing high to $470 swing low. However, the price is currently facing a crucial hurdle on the upside near the $535-540 zone.
Moreover, the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last key decline from the $594 swing high to $470 swing low is near $546 to act as a resistance. Therefore, a break above the $540 and $546 resistances could open the doors for more gains in the near term. Above $546, the price may perhaps move towards the $565 and $570 levels. On the downside, there is a key bullish trend line formed with support at $515 on the hourly chart of the BCH/USD pair. The trend line support is important, below which, the price may revisit the $500 support.
Looking at the chart, BCH price is placed nicely for more upsides above the $500 support. However, a break above $540 is must for an upside acceleration.
