Bitcoin Cash Price Resistance
There was no stopping sellers as bitcoin cash price declined below the $620 and $600 supports against the US Dollar. The BCH/USD pair even broke the $580 support and traded to a new weekly low at $565. Later, the price started an upside correction and traded above the $580 level. However, it seems like the current upside move could face a lot of selling interest near the $600 and $610 level.
An initial resistance is near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $712 high to $565 low. More importantly, there is a new contracting triangle forming with resistance near $608 on the hourly chart of the BCH/USD pair. The pair seems to be forming a bearish pennant with resistance near the $610 zone. If the price breaks down, it could resume its downside move below the $570 level. The next major support below the recent low of $565 is at $550. On the other hand, if the price surpasses the $610 level, it may well test the $621 level. It represents the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $712 high to $565 low.
