Bitcoin Cash Price Resistance
There was no major movement during the weekend above $1,050 in bitcoin cash price against the US Dollar. The price tested the $950-960 support zone on a couple of occasions. There was no downside break below $950 and the price remained confined in a range. There were a couple of swing moves, but upsides were capped by the $1,020 resistances and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
The recent swing low was $976 with an upside move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $1,042 high to $976 low. However, there are many barriers on the upside waiting to prevent gains above $1,010 and $1,040. An immediate resistance is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $1,042 high to $976 low.
