Bitcoin Cash Consolidates above $260, Targets $405 High

Since January 22, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has fallen to a low of $265 as bulls bought the dips. For the past five days, the cryptocurrency has been trading in the oversold region of the market.

Today, the price of BCH is moving above the current support, while the market is reaching the high of $295. To sum up, BCH/USD is fluctuating between $261 and $300. On the upside, BCH will rise if buyers keep it above the $300 high, but will face another resistance at $405. A breakout above $405 will catapult BCH to a rally above the moving averages. If buyers are successful, the market will resume its upward momentum. Nevertheless, the current downturn has reached its bearish exhaustion. A further downward move is unlikely.
