BCH To Support?
To determine whether or not BCH will continue falling toward the support line or rebound toward the resistance, we analyze the price of BCH is analyzed at daily intervals from Dec 2018 to May 2019 alongside the RSI and the MACD below:
Since Dec 2018, the price of BCH has been trading inside an ascending broadening wedge. The resistance line was touched during the highs of Apr 3 and May 16.
Similarly, the RSI and the MACD made highs on Apr 3. However, they have since decreased.
This bearish divergence suggests that the price of BCH will continue dropping toward the support line of the short-term triangle. It also appears possible that the price could breakdown and fall toward the long-term support line. However, it also remains possible that after reaching short-term support, BCH will rebound to validate the short-term or long-term resistance line. Validation of the long-term resistance line would require a breakout from the short-term trading pattern.
