Highlights

  • Bitcoin Cash (BCH) trades at $496.30, below its MA-20 ($513.03) and MA-50 ($548.52) but just under MA-200 ($499.84), indicating short-term downside pressure.
  • Momentum indicators remain negative, with BCH falling 5.56% intraday and oscillators aligning to reinforce strong intraday volatility and seller pressure.
  • BCH is expected to range between $423.10 and $486.00 over the next five trading days, with less than 20% probability of a significant upward move.

Intraday volatility rises as negative momentum dominates

Momentum signals remain negative, with the MACD showing strong sell and the ADX at a weak 16.58, confirming low directional strength. RSI at 42.49 and CCI near neutral indicate a lack of significant oversold conditions, while Stoch RSI is also neutral overall. The BBP points to sellers driving intraday momentum. Today's 5.56% fall, from a previous close gap of $20.20, placed the current price near the lower end of its daily range, reinforcing strong intraday volatility and pressure from sellers after the open. There is mild divergence among oscillators, but the dominant downward move aligns with negative momentum indicators.

Downside stabilization favored as breakout risks remain subdued

For the next five trading days, the expected range is between $423.10 and $486.00. The probability of a significant upward move is very low (less than 20%), while a further decrease is more likely. The baseline scenario is for BCH to stabilize within the defined corridor. A bullish scenario would see a rise above resistance at $522.20, while a break below the $491.10 – $499.84 support zone would indicate renewed bearish momentum.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees a clear continuation of bearish momentum for Bitcoin Cash as the price remains below key moving averages and technical signals confirm weak upside potential. He emphasizes that the probability of a significant rebound is low, with momentum and volatility indicators favoring further downside within the defined trading corridor. Kharitonov maintains a cautious, defensive outlook and will look for a decisive move above $522.20 before turning more constructive. "Unless BCH can reclaim resistance levels soon, I see no reason to expect a meaningful recovery and remain on the sidelines for now."

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 resistance was broken. Previously it was noted that sellers dominated intraday activity and momentum indicators remained weak, resulting in a cautious outlook for the asset.
