Bitcoin Cash – ABC – Tanks

Bitcoin Cash ABC tumbled by 9.56% on Wednesday. Reversing a 5% gain from Tuesday, Bitcoin Cash ABC ended the day at $311.31.

A particularly bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin Cash ABC strike an early intraday high $358.24.

Bitcoin Cash ABC broke through the first major resistance level at $354.2 before succumbing to crypto market forces.

A crypto meltdown led to a Bitcoin Cash ABC slide to a late afternoon intraday low $305.11.

Bitcoin Cash ABC fell through the first major support level at $332.55 and second major support level at $319.12.

In spite of late support, Bitcoin Cash ABC failed to break back through the second major support level ahead of the day end.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash ABC was up by 0.12% to $311.68. In the early hours, Bitcoin Cash ABC moved from a morning low $311.31 to a high $315.17 before easing back.

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

For the day ahead, a move through to $325 would support the recovery of Wednesday’s sell-off.

Bitcoin Cash ABC would need the support of the broader market, however, to break out from the morning high $315.17.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, Bitcoin Cash ABC would likely fall short of the first major resistance level at $344.66.

Failure to move through to $325 levels could lead to another day in the red. A fall through Wednesday’s low $305.11 would bring the first major support level at $291.53 into play.

Barring another crypto meltdown, Bitcoin Cash ABC should steer clear of sub-$280 support levels on the day.

For the day ahead, a move through the morning high $77.36 to $78.7 levels would support a rebound.

Litecoin would need the support of the broader market, however, to take a run at $80 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, Litecoin would likely fall short of the first major resistance level at $83.25.

Failure to move through to $78.7 levels could lead to another sell-off later in the day. A fall through the morning low $75.64 to $74 levels would bring the first major support level at $71.18 into play.

Barring another crypto meltdown, Litecoin should steer clear of the 62% FIB of $70 on the day.
