Bitcoin Cash in a Sideways Trend, Battles the $540 Overhead Resistance

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has made positive moves to the upside since June 23. However, buyers have failed to break the $540 overhead resistance.

Today, buyers are pushing the cryptocurrency higher as the market reaches the $526 high. Currently, BCH is facing resistance as price approaches the resistance zone.

On the upside, if buyers break above resistance at $540, BCH will rise to either $740 or $820. The bulls have failed to push the altcoin above overhead resistance. In previous price action, the bulls were pushed back on June 29 and July 4 when BCH price tried to break through the resistance level. Moreover, BCH /USD is approaching the overbought region of the market. Therefore, further upside above $540 is doubtful.
