Bitcoin Cash Price Analysis: BCH/USD search for a bottom becomes torturous

Bitcoin Cash price has not been spared by the carnage going around the market. If anything BCH is among the worst-hit cryptos by the bearish wave ravaging through the market. Bitcoin Cash has lost almost 50% of its value from its peak in February at $499. The bearish leg extended under the broken support at $260 to test the buyer congestion zone at $250. An ongoing shallow recovery is attempting to correct the 2.4% loss suffered on the day. Besides, BCH/USD is exchanging hands at $260 at the time of writing.

Bitcoin Cash price technical picture

In spite of the losses suffered the bulls have a strong zeal to rise above the selling pressure and relaunch the upward trajectory. The RSI is pointing downwards in the 4-hour range, however, it is likely to recover before hitting the oversold area. At the same time, the MACD is in an upward slope from the recent dip to -17.31. Moreover, the signal line features a bullish divergence from the MACD to show that the buyers are still in charge.
