Bitcoin Cash is in a Confined Range as Bulls and Bears Remain Undecided About Price Direction

Since November 18, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) plunged to a low of $540 and continued its sideways movement above current support. Last week, BCH traded in a narrow range between $540 and $600.

The bulls and bears retested the range but were unable to break it. For example, if buyers break through resistance at $600, bullish momentum is likely to spread across the moving averages. If buyers manage to break above the moving averages, it will be a sign that the uptrend is resuming. BCH will rise and regain the previous highs of $630 and $670. On the other hand, if the bears break the support at $540, the market will fall back to the previous low at $480.

The cryptocurrency price is still below the moving averages of the 21-day line and the 50-day line, indicating further downward movement. Nevertheless, BCH is above the 80% area of the daily stochastic. This suggests that the market is approaching overbought territory.
