Technical Indicators
The price of BCH/USD on Coinbase is analyzed at 12-hour intervals from Apr 1 to Apr 22 alongside the RSI and the MACD to assess possible future price fluctuations of Bitcoin Cash.
The moving average convergence divergence (MACD) is a trend indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages (long and short-term) and the price. It is used to measure the strength of a move.
The relative strength index (RSI) is an indicator which calculates the size of the changes in price in order to determine oversold or overbought conditions in the market.
These are shown in the graph below:
On Apr 6, the price made a high of $332.64. It made another high on Apr 8, and on Apr 15, it made the final high of $335.
Similarly, the RSI and the MACD made the first high on Apr 6. However, they have continued to generate lower values since.
This is known as bearish divergence and often precedes price decreases.
Using this indicator, prices losses appear likely. A sufficient drop in price could lead to a breakdown from the short-term channel traced above.
