Bitcoin Cash – ABC – On the Move

Bitcoin Cash ABC gained 0.64% on Wednesday. Partially reversing a 2.37% fall from Tuesday, Bitcoin Cash ABC ended the day at $282.0.

A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin Cash ABC slide to an intraday low 269.2 before bouncing back. The reversal saw Bitcoin Cash ABC fall through the first major support level at $275.33 to test the second major support level at $269.75.

Recovering through the early hours, Bitcoin Cash ABC managed to move back through to $280 levels ahead of a range-bound afternoon.

A late intraday high $285.44 saw Bitcoin Cash ABC come up short of the first major resistance level at $288.56.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash ABC was up by 2.05% to $287.77. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin Cash ABC rally from a morning low $285.19 to a high $290.5 before easing back.

The early rally saw Bitcoin Cash ABC break through the first major resistance level at $288.56 to come up against the 23.6% FIB of $291.

For the day ahead, a hold above $286 levels through the morning would support another move through the first major resistance level. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin Cash ABC to break out from the 23.6% FIB.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, Bitcoin Cash ABC will likely fall well short of the second major resistance level at $295.12.

Failure to hold above $286 levels could see Bitcoin Cash ABC cough up the morning gains. A fall through to $278 levels would bring the first major support level at $272.32 into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, Bitcoin Cash ABC will likely steer clear of sub-$270 levels on the day.

Tracking the broader market, Litecoin slid to an early morning intraday low $71.31 before finding support.

Calling on support at the first major support level at $71.32, Litecoin bounced back to a morning high $73.96 before easing back.

Range-bound through the afternoon, Litecoin struck a late intraday high $75 before easing back. In spite of the recovery, Litecoin came up short of the first major resistance level at $76.62.

At the time of writing, Litecoin was up by 0.58% to $74.26. A relatively choppy day saw Litecoin rise from a morning low $73.41 to a high $75.59 before easing back.

The bullish start to the day saw Litecoin break through the first major resistance level at $74.78. Litecoin managed to steer clear of the first major support level at $73.09 at the start of the day.

For the day ahead, a hold onto $74 levels through the morning would support another break through the first major resistance level at $74.78.

Support from the broader-market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to take a run at the second major resistance level at $75.74.

Failure to hold onto $74 levels could see Litecoin slide through the first major support level to $72 levels.

Barring a mass crypto sell-off, however, Litecoin would likely steer clear of the second major support level at $72.36.
