Bitcoin Cash Price Forecast: BCH to aim for $275 after critical support holds strong

  • The price has managed to bounce up from the 50-day SMA.
  • Bulls face strong resistance at 100-day SMA and 200-day SMA.

Bitcoin Cash fell from $268.25 to $241.70 in three days between November 2 and November 4. In the process, it broke below the 100-day SMA and 200-day SMA. However, a critical support wall has remained strong, which could swing the fortunes in the bulls’ favor.

The 50-day SMA holds strong

The buyers have bounced BCH up to $245 after bouncing up from the 50-day SMA. Looking at the price history, the 50-day SMA has been a solid support and resistance level. Following this bullish price action, the relative strength index (RSI) has stopped its downward movement and swung up from 41.60 to 43.45.

The daily confluence detector helps us visualize healthy levels of support and resistance. As per the detector, we have two strong resistance levels at the 100-day SMA ($257) and 200-day SMA ($248). Upon breaking above these barriers, the price will be able to break into the $275-zone.

The bullish thesis holds when looking at Santiment’s holders distribution chart. The number of addresses holding 1,000-10,000 tokens went up from 1,724 on November 1 to 1,755 at the time of writing. Similarly, the number of addresses holding 10,000-1 million tokens rose from 170 on November 2 to 171 at the time of writing.

It should be noted that this thesis holds only if the 50-day SMA doesn’t crumble. If the bears manage to take BCH down, the next viable support wall, as per the daily confluence detector, is at $222.50.
