Bitcoin Cash Price Resistance
Yesterday, there was a sharp downside correction below $640 in bitcoin cash price against the US Dollar. The price traded as low as $625 where buyers appeared. There were two attempts to break $625, but the price succeeded in overcoming selling pressure. As a result, there was an upside move and the price moved above the $640 resistance and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
Moreover, there was a break above the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $682 high to $625 low.
