Bitcoin Cash – ABC Finds Support

Bitcoin Cash ABC fell by 1.49% on Friday, following a 16.37% slide on Thursday, to end the day at $104.53, a 5th consecutive day in the red for the current week leaving Bitcoin Cash ABC down 38.42%.

A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin Cash ABC slide through the first major support level at $97.6 to an early morning intraday low and new swing lo $94.6 before bouncing back.

The mid-morning bounce back saw Bitcoin Cash ABC strike an intraday high $115.36 before easing back to a relatively range bound afternoon, sub-$100 support giving Bitcoin Cash ABC a hold onto $100 levels by the day’s end.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash ABC was down 1.47% to $106.07, a bullish start to the day seeing Bitcoin Cash ABC move from a start of a day morning low $103.27 to a morning high $108.89 before easing back. The day’s major support and resistance levels were left untested early on.

For the day ahead, a hold above $105 through the morning would support another run at $110 levels, with sentiment across the broader market to dictate whether Bitcoin Cash ABC can take a run at the first major resistance level at $115.06.

Failure to hold above $105 levels could see Bitcoin Cash ABC cough up the morning gains, with a fall through the morning low $103.27 bringing sub-$100 levels and the day’s first major support level at $94.3 into play before any recovery.

Exchange support for the Bitcoin Cash ABC network has provided some relief at the start of the weekend.

Litecoin Slides Again

Litecoin fell by 5.39% on Friday, following on from Thursday’s 8.63% slide, to end the day at $24.77, a 4th day in the red for the current week leaving Litecoin down 25.7% Monday through Friday.

For the day ahead, a hold onto $25 levels through the morning would support another run at $26 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $26.66 into play before any reversal, though it’s not just Litecoin that will need to hold onto key levels through the morning to support an afternoon breakout.

Failure to hold onto $25 levels could see Litecoin fall back through the morning low $24.73 to $23 levels, with the day’s first major support level at $22.56 in play later in the day should Litecoin see red.
