The on-chart indicators hinted at a change in momentum for BCH. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) remained under the neutral 50 and continued to edge toward the oversold zone. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) also stayed negative with a reading of -0.14. Collectively, the indicators revealed declining buying pressure and strong capital outflows.
The 12-hour timeframe showed that bears had broken below the key $248 support level. With declining volume, bulls could lose more ground with sellers looking to drive the price to the $186 – $220 level.
Nonetheless, another rally by BTC to $31k could prop up Bitcoin Cash at the current support level with bulls able to target the $280 price level.
