Bitcoin Cash ABC gained 0.26% on Tuesday. Reversing a 0.23% fall from Monday, Bitcoin Cash ABC ended the day at $418.07.

A relatively choppy day saw Bitcoin Cash ABC fall to a mid-morning intraday low $400.87 before finding support.

Holding above the first major support level at $390.15, Bitcoin Cash ABC rallied to an intraday high $445.2.

The early afternoon rally, saw Bitcoin Cash ABC briefly break through the first major resistance level at $431.77 before easing back.

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

For the day ahead, a move back through to $421 levels would support another run at $440 levels later in the day.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin Cash ABC to take a run at the first major resistance level at $441.89.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, Bitcoin Cash ABC will likely come up short of $430 levels on the day.

Failure to move back through to $420 levels could see Bitcoin Cash ABC take a bigger hit on the day. A pullback through the morning low $410 would bring the first major support level at $397.56 into play.

Barring a broad-based crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin Cash ABC will likely steer clear of sub-$390 levels on the day.
