BCH/USD: Technical picture

On the intraday charts, BCH/USD bumped into a local resistance created by the middle line of the 1-hour Bollinger Band at $286.00.  A sustainable move above this area will open up the way to the next barrier created by a 50-hour SMA at $288.00. Once it is out of the way, the upside is likely to gain traction with the next focus on psychological $290.00 and the upper line of the 4-hour Bollinger Band at $293.30. The ultimate resistance os created by psychological $300.00.

On the downside, if $280.00 gives way, the sell-off may be extended towards 200-day SMA at $273.00. This barrier served as a strong resistance for the best part of the year, so no it may provide strong support and trigger the next bullish wave.  a sustainable move below this area will negate the bullish forecast and bring more bears to the market.
