  • Bitcoin Cash price has seen a massive explosion in the past week jumping from a low of $333 to $464.
  • The digital asset faces one last resistance level before $500.

Bitcoin Cash has been inside a steady and robust uptrend since September 2020. In total, the digital asset has risen by more than 130% but hasn’t yet beaten the 2020-high of $498 established on February. 

Bitcoin Cash faces one critical resistance level 

BCH is currently trading at around $440 after significant continuation in the past 24 hours from an initial breakout above $360 on January 3. The digital asset now faces very little resistance ahead according to various indicators.

However, on the daily chart, the RSI is overextended, which indicates a pullback is nearby. In the past several months, the overbought RSI has been an accurate indicator of temporary tops for Bitcoin cash.
