Following the declines last week where Bitcoin Cash buyers defended the primary support at $105, the bulls appear to be back and are pushing for correction. The asset has been trending upwards from the primary support to the current $117.24. At press time, Bitcoin Cash is trading between the hourly 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and the 100-day SMA.

A bullish trend is forming above the 100-SMA and it is likely that we could see Bitcoin Cash recoil above $120. There has been a sharp change in the direction of the Relative Strength Index (RSI). The indicator is pointing sharply upwards above the 50% mark. This shows that the bulls are increasing their entries.

A broader look at Bitcoin Cash chart, the digital asset is also trading in an ascending channel. The channel support is vital, however, a breakout above the channel resistance will see Bitcoin Cash embark on an upward journey above $130; a move that will bring other hurdles at $140 and $160 in sight. Another support is observed at $110, above the main support at $105.
