BCH/USD: Technical picture
On the intraday charts, BCH/USD attempted a recovery above the local resistance created by 50-hour SMA at $288.80. If it is sustainably broken, the upside momentum may gain traction with the next target at $290, followed by the upper line of the 1-hour Bollinger Band $296.00 THis barrier separates us from the ultimate resistance created by psychological $300.00. The coin attempted a break above this area on Thursday, but the upside momentum was not sustained.
On the downside, the local support comes at $281.00. This area reinforced by 100-hour SMA stopped the decline on Thursday, which means BCH/USD may need an additional impulse to push through.
