Bitcoin Cash Rises 2.47% to $552.3

Highlights

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) rose 2.47% to $552.3 but remains below its 20-day ($580.97) and 50-day ($578.39) moving averages, indicating ongoing short- and medium-term selling pressure.
BCH broke below a long-term ascending channel and tested the $530–$540 support zone on rising volume, with a weekly price drop of over 12% and market cap declining more than 10%.
BCH is expected to consolidate between $560.40 and $594.60 over the next five days, with over 80% probability of a price increase unless bearish momentum drives a reversal below $550.

Support retested amid volume surge and market-wide risk aversion

Bitcoin Cash recently broke below a long-standing ascending channel, testing crucial support between $530 and $540 on increased selling and higher trading volumes. Despite the weekly decline of over 12% and a market cap drop of more than 10%, BCH recorded moderate gains with a notable rise in trading volume as investors attempted a short-term recovery. Resistance is seen near $570, while broader crypto sell-offs tied to inflation and central bank policy shifts have continued to weigh on sentiment.

Bearish momentum lingers as key averages cap upward moves

BCH is under pressure from sellers in both short and medium timeframes, with the 20-day and 50-day averages serving as near-term resistance. The 200-day average at $461.36 acts as a key long-term support, while the closest dynamic resistance is marked by the 50-day average and the Ichimoku Kijun at $591.25. Daily momentum signals are mixed: MACD is neutral, ADX at 25.76 shows a weak trend, RSI at 37.29, Stochastic RSI near 21, and CCI at –74.1 all point to lingering bearish momentum without reaching extreme oversold territory. Bear Power (BBP) is neutral, and the Awesome Oscillator supports a negative short-term bias, underlining a divergence between today's positive moves and the broader weak trend.

Sideways consolidation likely as bullish odds hinge on momentum

Over the next five trading days, BCH is expected to consolidate sideways in the $560.40 to $594.60 corridor, most likely staying above $550. There is a very high probability (over 80%) of a price increase, with a bullish scenario targeting resistance around $591 and a possible move to the weekly high if momentum strengthens. A bearish reversal could send prices below $550, opening risk toward long-term support at the 200-day average. Overall, sideways action is the base case unless momentum decisively shifts.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Bitcoin Cash under clear technical pressure, as sellers dominate the short and medium term, and most momentum indicators remain firmly negative. He notes that despite today's bounce and a moderate recovery attempt, the failure to reclaim the $570–$580 resistance amid bearish sentiment and broader crypto headwinds keeps the risk of further declines alive. Base case remains a sideways move above $550, with definitive upside only likely if key resistance levels are recaptured. "Until we see BCH regain and hold above its 20- and 50-day averages, any upside should be viewed with skepticism — my stance remains defensive here."

Last time we reported that cautious trading rose with increased volume and waning liquidity, as sellers remained in control of market flow. Previously it was noted that momentum indicators display broad oversold readings while downside risks persisted.
