Bitcoin Cash Consolidates in Narrow Range, Ready for Possible Breakout or Breakdown

Bitcoin Cash now consolidates in a tight range between $230 and $235. This is because buyers fail to break the $240 resistance twice.

The attempt at the $240 resistance on September 15 resulted in BCH falling to $226 low. Similarly, the coin fell as well to $231 low after a second attempt at the resistance. This indicates that sellers are overwhelming at the $240 high. The crypto now fluctuates in a narrow range. 

The recent development can lead to a breakout or breakdown of price movement. Nonetheless, sellers have the advantage over buyers as the price is in the bearish trend zone. The upward move is facing rejection at the 12-day EMA. On the downside, if the bears break the $215 support, the price will find support at the critical support level at $200. However, the selling pressure will continue, when the critical support fails to hold.
