Highlights

  • Bitcoin Cash (BCH) trades at $557.20, above key moving averages ($512.58, $555.09, $493.63), confirming a short- and medium-term bullish structure.
  • Momentum indicators are mixed, with daily MACD and ADX signaling selling pressure while RSI (54.81) and CCI (98.95) suggest buyers hold control as intraday price consolidates.
  • For the upcoming week, BCH is projected to range between $573.50 and $576.60 with less than 20% probability of price increase, implying likely sideways or bearish movement.

Mixed momentum and sideways action as technicals diverge

Momentum signals present a mixed picture. The MACD and ADX on the daily chart both indicate selling pressure, suggesting caution as momentum weakens. The RSI (54.81) and CCI (98.95) suggest buyers still have control, while the Stoch RSI is overbought, pointing to exhaustion. BBP is neutral, so neither buyers nor sellers dominate intraday. The Awesome Oscillator signals a sell, in line with the overall softer mood. The price has slipped 0.39% today, moving from a previous close of $559.40 to $555.60 at the open, indicating a very small gap. The current price sits near the middle of today’s range ($550.20–$563.80), with volatility staying moderate. After slight pressure following the open, the intraday tone is one of sideways consolidation. There is a clear divergence between oversold signals and seller momentum, implying uncertainty in immediate direction.

Bearish risk remains as upside potential faces resistance

For the upcoming week, BCH is expected to move between $573.50 and $576.60, with an average of $575.05. The probability of a price increase is very low (less than 20%), making a further decline or at best limited growth much more likely. The baseline scenario calls for price action to remain sideways, capped by resistance near recent highs. A bullish breakout would require a sustained move above $563.80–$565.00, opening the way for further gains. Conversely, a break below $550.20 and the Kijun support could put the $540–$530 area at risk, favoring a bearish scenario.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees a technically bullish structure in Bitcoin Cash as the price holds above key moving averages, but notes that momentum indicators are diverging and buyers’ control may be fragile. Given the lack of supportive news or sentiment flows, he remains cautious considering daily signals that highlight both exhaustion and persistent selling pressure. Kharitonov believes the downside risk dominates, with a base case for sideways or lower movement unless resistance above $563.80 is convincingly broken. "Until we see sustained momentum above $565.00, I prefer a defensive stance and will not trust any upside attempts from here."

Previously, it was noted that sellers dominated intraday activity and momentum indicators remained weak, supporting a cautious outlook for the asset. Last time, we reported that Bitcoin Cash was expected to stabilize in a sideways corridor near current levels, with a bullish move anticipated only if the price can break above resistance at $529.25.
