Bitcoin Cash – ABC Back on the Slide

Bitcoin Cash ABC fell by 4.29% on Saturday, following on from a 1.49% decline on Friday, to end the day at $99.27.

A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin Cash ABC rally to an early morning intraday high $108.89 before hitting reverse, the day’s high coming up short of the first major resistance level at $115.06.

The reversal saw Bitcoin Cash ABC slide to an early afternoon intraday low $94.9, coming within range of the first major support level at $94.3, before steadying to a relatively range bound 2nd half of the day.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash ABC was down 0.03% to $98.70, moves through the early morning seeing Bitcoin Cash ABC ease back from a start of a day morning high $99.24 to a morning low $97.71 before steadying, the day’s major support and resistance levels untested.

For the day ahead, a move back through the morning high $99.24 to $100 levels would signal a possible late weekend rally to reverse some of the week’s losses, though for Bitcoin Cash ABC to take a run at the first major resistance level at $107.14, a move through to $101 levels by the early afternoon would be needed.

Failure to move back through the morning high to $100 levels could see Bitcoin Cash ABC pullback through the morning low $97.71 to $95 levels, bringing the day’s first major support level at $93.15 into play, with the second major support level at $87.03 in play in the event of another crypto sell-off later in the day.
