Bitcoin Cash Price Decline

Yesterday, we saw how Bitcoin cash price was back to square one after failing to break $620 against the US Dollar. The price remained in the bearish zone during the past three sessions and traded below the $540 support area. Earlier, the $550 support acted as a barrier for sellers, but failed to hold losses. There was a test of the 1.236 extension of the last wave from the $550 low to $627 high.

However, buyers failed to hold the $532 extension level as well. It resulted in a decline below $532. It seems like the price is now heading towards the 1.618 extension of the last wave from the $550 low to $627 high at $503. The $503-500 support area is very important since the last bounce was from $501. There is also a descending channel pattern with current resistance at $580 forming on the hourly chart of BCH/USD.

Therefore, it won’t be easy for buyers to take back control as long as the price is below $580. On the upside, an initial resistance is near $550, followed by the channel resistance at $580.
