Bitcoin Cash Price Analysis

Moreover, there was a close below the $250 level and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). The price tested the $200 support area and recently started an upside correction. It broke the $220 and $225 levels.
Moreover, there was a break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last major decline from the $333 high to $199 low. However, the price failed to gain momentum above the $230 resistance and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). It resumed its decline and traded below an ascending channel with support near the $224 level on the 4-hours chart of the BCH/USD pair.
The price is currently consolidating near the $220 level. It seems like there could be another correction towards the $230 or $240 resistance area. More importantly, there is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $240 on the same chart. If there is an upside break above the trend line, the price could recover towards the $265 and $270 resistance levels.
The 50% Fib retracement level of the last major decline from the $333 high to $199 low is also near the $266 level to act as a resistance. Conversely, if the price fails to break $230 or $240, it could resume its decline. An immediate support is near the $210 level. However, the main support is near $200, below which the price could decline significantly.
Looking at the chart, bitcoin cash price is clearly struggling to recover above the $230 and $240 resistance levels. As long as the price is below the $250 pivot level, there are chances of more downsides in the near term.
