Bitcoin Cash Consolidates Above $250 Support for Resumption of Upside Momentum

Bitcoin Cash suffered a setback as buyers attempted to push prices above the $260 resistance. Today, the coin has fallen to $243 low but it is trading above $253 high at the time of writing.

Despite the breakdown, the coin recovered quickly above the $250 support. BCH is on track as price is above the SMAs which suggest that the coin will resume a fresh uptrend on the upside. Once buyers break the $260 resistance convincingly, BCH will rally above the $280 high.  

The momentum will extend to $300 high. Nonetheless, buyers must sustain the bullish momentum above the $250 support for the resumption of upside momentum. On the other hand, if the bears break below the $250 support, the selling pressure will resume. That is the downtrend will extend to the lows of $243 or $238. In the meantime, BCH is fluctuating above the $250 support as bulls and bears are undecided about the direction of the market.
