Bitcoin Cash Price Support

After a major slide, bitcoin cash price found support near the $950 level against the US Dollar. The price traded as low as $947.3 where buyers appeared and prevented declines. A fresh upward correction was started and the price moved above the $980 and $1,000 resistance levels. It even succeeded in moving above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $1,190 swing high to $947 low.

More importantly, this week’s crucial bearish trend line with resistance at $1,040 was breached on the hourly chart of the BCH/USD pair. At the moment, the price is trading just above the $1,050 level and is showing positive signs.

On the upside, there is a strong resistance zone near $1,080 and $1,100. A break above the $1.100 resistance level could open the doors for more gains in the near term.
