Bitcoin Cash Price Analysis

During the past few days, there were multiple rejections near the $440 and $450 levels in bitcoin cash price against the US Dollar. The BCH/USD pair failed to gain momentum above $450 and remained in a bearish zone. The recent swing high was $445 and the price dipped below the $440 level. The price is currently trading well below the $440 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

It tested the $434 support area, which is acting as a strong buy zone. The price may bounce back above $438, but there are many hurdles on the upside. An initial resistance is the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $445 high to $434 low. Additionally, there is a connecting bearish trend line in place with resistance at $442 on the hourly chart of the BCH/USD pair. The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $445 high to $434 low is just below the trend line. More importantly, the 100 hourly SMA is near the $442 level. Therefore, if the price corrects higher, it could face a strong resistance near the $440-442 zone.
