Bitcoin Cash – ABC – Finds Support

Bitcoin Cash ABC fell by 1.04% on Thursday. Reversing a 0.8% gain from Wednesday, Bitcoin Cash ABC ended the day at $265.03

A bullish start to the day saw the rally to a mid-morning intraday high $276.19 before hitting reverse. The early rally saw Bitcoin Cash ABC break through the first major resistance level at $273.91. Hitting reverse through the afternoon, Bitcoin Cash ABC fell to a late afternoon intraday low $262.46.

Holding above the first major support level at $260.19, Bitcoin Cash ABC managed to move back through to $265 levels late on.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash ABC was up by 0.74% to $267.00. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin Cash ABC rise from a morning low $265.54 to a high $268.59 before easing back.

Bitcoin Cash ABC left the major support and resistance levels untested early on in the day.

For the day ahead, a move back through to $268 levels would support a run at the first major resistance level at $273.33.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for a breakout through Thursday’s high $276.19.

Failure to move back through to $268 levels could see Bitcoin Cash ABC hit reverse later in the day. A pullback through the morning low $265.54 would bring Thursday’s low $262.46 into play.

Barring a broad-based crypto sell-off, Bitcoin Cash ABC would likely steer clear of sub-$260 support levels. Bitcoin Cash ABC will likely leave the first major support level at $259.60 untested on the day.

For the day ahead, a move back through the morning high $73.67 would bring $74 levels into play before any pullback.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, Litecoin would likely continue to come up short of $75 levels. The second major resistance level at $74.35 would likely pin Litecoin back in the event of a breakout.

Failure to move back through the morning high $73.67 could see Litecoin hit reverse later in the day. A fall back through the $72.3 levels would bring $71 levels and the first major support level at $71.21 into play.

Barring a broad-based crypto sell-off, Litecoin will likely steer clear of sub-$71 support levels on the day.
