Bitcoin Cash Is in a Range as It Battles the Resistance at $116

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is in a downtrend, but is making an upward correction. The price of the cryptocurrency has risen above the moving average lines. However, the cryptocurrency is stuck below the 50-day line SMA.

The altcoin is on the retreat as it faces rejection at the $116 high. Further upside is doubtful as the market is reaching the overbought zone. If the market falls back above the 21-day line SMA, the cryptocurrency price would be forced to move in an area between the moving average lines. On the other hand, the downtrend will resume if the price falls below the 21-day SMA line. In other words, BCH will fall back to the previous low at $101.
