Bitcoin Cash (BCH) Price Analysis
General Overview
At fourth, BCH is one of the top performers in the last two weeks. Though it is up 8.6 percent from last week’s close, we expect bulls to reassert themselves, generating enough momentum that will propel prices above important resistance zones and buy triggers.
Trend and Candlestick Formation: Bearish, Breakout Pattern
Despite recent corrections, traders are bullish and as history shows, unidirectional declines like those of 2018 are often followed by bounce backs. As a result, it is likely that prices will edge higher more so if bulls clear $230 as the second phase of a breakout pattern pans out. In that case, a retest of $400 will be highly likely. If not and BCH finds resistance against the USD with prices dropping below $150, then Nov-Dec bears trend would have resumed and BCH risk dropping to 2018 lows.
Volumes: Bullish
A standout in the last few days is the resumption of activity days after it tapered ahead of Nov 15 hard fork. Note that recent volumes are better than those of Q3-4 pointing out that traders are back and there is trading happening.
For bulls to be in charge then gains above $230 and ideally should be at the back of above average volumes. It will not only mark the end of a strong bear run—if volumes are above 250k—and the beginning of an uptrend which traders had earmarked for early November. Otherwise
Our ideal BCH/USD trade plan assuming bulls prevail and rally above $230 is as follows:
Buy: $230
Stop: $180
Target: $400
