Bitcoin Cash Loses Critical Support at $250, Further Drop to $216 Likely

Yesterday, the bulls retested the $260 minor resistance but failed to break above it. The retest was counterproductive as bears were seriously defending the resistance zone. Consequently, today, BCH plunged to a low of $241 but the price corrected upward.

The upward correction retested the $250 resistance and resumed a downward move. Certainly, BCH is likely to further decline on the downside. This is because it has lost critical support at $250. 

The upside momentum will resume as long as the price is sustained above $250. The coin is falling and approaching the $231 support. A break below the $231 support will mean a further downward movement of the coin to a $200 low. The upward move is doubtful. However, if BCH falls and finds support above $231, that will signal the resumption of the uptrend. On the other, if the $231 support fails to hold, the downtrend will continue on the downside.
