Bitcoin Cash is in a Tight Consolidation, May Encounter a Price Rebound or Breakout

The price of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is in a sideways trend. Since the price collapse on December 4, the altcoin's downtrend has eased but resumed consolidation above current support.

Today, BCH continues to fluctuate above the current support. The consolidation has been going on for a month now, and the price action is characterized by indecisive candlesticks with small bodies called doji and spinning tops. These candlesticks indicate that buyers and sellers are indecisive about the direction of the market. It is unlikely that the cryptocurrency will develop a trend as long as doji candlesticks dominate price action. In the meantime, BCH/USD is hovering between $400 and $470.
