Is shorting the way to go forward for BCH tradersBitcoin Cash has been subjected to heavy sell-offs in the last six weeks post an up-channel (yellow) breakdown on 30 April. The price has been hovering near the lower band of the Bollinger Bands (BB) for the most part ever since.
A convincing close below the two-month trendline support (yellow, dashed) would open doorways for an extended retracement. Any close below the $148-zone would delay the bullish revival chances in the near term. At press time, BCH was trading at $151.9, down by 7.75%in the last 24 hours.
Given the aggregated fear sentiment, it has been relatively simple for BCH sellers to find fresher grounds to rest on. A reversal from the $362-zone in April chalked out a two-month trendline support on the daily timeframe.
Since then, the coin has been on a steady fall. The broader liquidations pulled BCH down to its 27-month low at the time of writing.
With BB’s lower and upper bands looking opposite ways, the bears would now strive to push for a high volatility phase in the coming days. As the trading volumes were in a decline phase, the trend was yet to take a compelling shape.
Any close below the 148-support would pull BCH for a further downside toward the $136-level. Post this, the bulls would likely aim to counter the selling pressure for its multi-yearly lows. A near-term bullish revival would likely be short-lived by the south-looking basis line of BB.
