The main resistance above the trend line is near the $230 level and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $246 swing high to $217 low.

A successful break above the trend line and then $230 could initiate a fresh increase. In the mentioned case, the bulls are likely to aim a retest of $245. Any further gains could push the price above the $250 resistance.

Bearish Break in BCH?

If bitcoin cash price fails to break the trend line resistance, $230, and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours), there is a risk of a major downside break.
