Bitcoin Cash (BCH) Price Analysis
After BCH collapsed in mid-November, the community didn’t expect the hash rate war to dent prices as it did. Not only did it break prices as BCH value more than halved, dropping as low as $71 according to data from CoinBase but participation and general activity was wrecked. This was unexpected and as the market recovers, traders expect BCH value to adjust to at least above $230.
However, from candlestick alignment, this appears to be a long short. Note that the path of least resistance is southwards and when we paste a simple Fibonacci retracement tool between Nov 2018 highs and Dec 2018 highs, it’s easy to see that $230—our buy trigger line and resistance level flush with the 23.6 percent retracement level.
Traders are watching this level because if bull momentum builds up and prices expand above $230 at the back of above average volumes exceeding the mean between Dec 17 and 20, then chances are BCH will hit $400 most likely by end of Jan 2019.
Otherwise, rejection of higher highs and drop of prices below $150 would mean a resumption of bears and it won’t be a surprise if BCH prices not only clear $100 but drop to new 2019 lows by end of the month.
Retaining an upbeat overview, our BCH/USD plan is as follows:
- Buy: $230
- Stop: $180
- Target: $400
