BCH/USD: Technical picture
At the time of writing, BCH/USD is changing hands at $237.20, mostly unchanged since the beginning of the day. The coin has gained 3.5% of its value on a day-to-day basis; however, the short-term trend remains bearish.
The local support is created by a combination of 1-hour SMA50 and and the middle line of the 1-hour Bollinger Band around $235.00. Once it is out of the way, the sell-off may continue to $230.00 and May 15 low of $224.29. This barrier is likely to stop the decline and trigger an upside correction.
On the upside, the critical resistance is created by $240.00. A sustainable move above this area is needed for the upside to gain traction towards $244.45 (1-hour SMA200).

On a daily chart, the above-mentioned support of $235.00 is also reinforced by daily SMA100. It means that this area may serve as an effective backstop for the sellers in the short-run. The resistance on a daily chart is created by SMA50 at $244.00 and confirms the short-term picture.
