Bitcoin Cash Retraces to $250 Support as Buyers Recoup to Resume Uptrend

Following its rejection at the $280 high, BCH has been falling consistently on the downside. Nevertheless, on November 10, the coin resumed sideways move after falling to the low at $256.

The crypto was consolidating between $256 and $263 for three days before resuming the downward move. Sellers were in control as they broke the lower price at $256 twice. In the first instance, the bulls recovered as the price pulled back to the range-bound zone. 

In the second instance, the price broke below the support level, pulled back to retest the support, and then resume the downward move. The bottom line is that if the current downward move persists, the bears may break below the $250 support level. Incidentally, BCH will decline $216 low. On the other hand, if the $250 support holds, the upside momentum will resume. Today, BCH is trading at $254 at the time of writing.
