Bitcoin Cash Stuck Below $560 High as Bulls Struggle to Resume the Uptrend

Bitcoin Cash's (BCH) uptrend has been stuck below $560 resistance since July 31. Bulls have retested the upper resistance three times but have been rejected.

On August 2, buyers retested overhead resistance, and the altcoin was pushed back as it fell to a low of $524. Today, buyers are pushing the altcoin to the $560 resistance level in order to overcome it.

Here is how the price has performed over the past week. On the upside, BCH has declined and consolidated below the $560 resistance. Traders believe that consolidation below a resistance level increases the chances of a breakout. A breakout above the $560 resistance will catapult BCH above $610. Subsequent bullish momentum will extend the uptrend to $730. Conversely, BCH/USD will continue its sideways movement below the overriding resistance if BCH breaks away from it.
