Bitcoin Cash Recovers above $190 after a Sudden Price Spike

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is in a downtrend after the cryptocurrency fell sharply to a low of $150 on May 12. The May 12 candlestick showed a long, protruding tail indicating support at $150. The long tail indicates that there is strong buying pressure at the current support.
