Bitcoin Cash price must defend crucial support level for another leg up to $600 – Confluence Detector

  • Bitcoin cash price had a major spike to $629 on January 10 before a significant pullback.
  • BCH bulls look for another leg up but must defend the 26-EMA support level on the daily chart.

Bitcoin Cash saw a massive 150% bull rally that started on December 2020 and peaked at $629 on January 10. The digital asset has experienced a healthy correction since then and aims for a new higher high.

Bitcoin Cash price can rise to $600 again 

BCH is currently trading at $488 and must defend a crucial support level at $450, which is the 26-EMA on the daily chart. This moving average has served as a strong support point since December 25, 2020.

According to the In/Out of the Money Around Price (IOMAP) chart, the most significant resistance area for BCH is located between $498 and $511, which means that a breakout above this point would drive Bitcoin Cash price towards the target of $600.
