Bitcoin Cash – ABC – Finds Early Support

Bitcoin Cash ABC tumbled by 6.78% on Monday. Following on from a 4.07% slide on Sunday, Bitcoin Cash ABC ended the day at $231.05.

A relatively range-bound start to the day saw Bitcoin Cash ABC rise to an early intraday high $248.9 before hitting reverse.

Tracking the broader market, Bitcoin Cash ABC tumbled to an early afternoon low $230.14 before finding support. The pullback saw Bitcoin Cash ABC fall through the first major support level at $240.27 and second major support level at $232.21.

A recovery to $240 levels was brief, with Bitcoin Cash ABC sliding to a late intraday low $228.0 before recovering to $230 levels.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash ABC was up by 2.02% to $235.73. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin Cash ABC rise from a morning low $234.8 to a high $240.25 before easing back.

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

For the day ahead, a hold onto $235 levels would support a move back through to $240 levels. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin Cash ABC to break through the first major resistance level at $243.97.

Barring a crypto rebound, Bitcoin Cash ABC would likely fall short of $250 levels for a 2nd consecutive day.

Failure to hold onto $235 levels could see Bitcoin Cash ABC hit reverse. A fall through to $234 levels would bring sub-$230 levels into play. Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin Cash ABC will likely steer clear of the first major support level at $223.07.

Litecoin broke through the first major resistance level at $68.32 in the early rally.

For the day ahead, a hold onto $67 levels through the morning would support another run at $70 levels later in the day.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to breakout from the first major resistance level at $68.32.
