Bitcoin Cash – ABC – Sees Red Again

Bitcoin Cash ABC fell by 1.67% on Saturday. Reversing a 1.17% rise from Friday, Bitcoin Cash ABC ended the day at $167.

Bearish through the day, Bitcoin Cash ABC fell from a start of a day intraday high $170.66 to an intraday low $164.17.

The start of the day high saw Bitcoin Cash ABC come within range of the first major resistance level at $170.97 before hitting reverse.

The reversal saw Bitcoin Cash ABC fall through the first major support level at $167.47 and second major support level at $164.17. A partial recovery through the late afternoon saw Bitcoin Cash ABC recover through the second major support level.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash ABC was down 1.2% to $165.0. The early pullback from the end of Saturday $167 left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

For the day ahead, a move back through to $167 levels would be needed for Bitcoin Cash ABC to take a run at $170 levels. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin Cash ABC support a breakthrough the first major resistance level at $170.38. Barring a broad-based rally, we would expect Bitcoin Cash ABC to continue to struggle at $170 levels on the day.

Failure to move through to $167 levels could see Bitcoin Cash ABC fall further back on the day. A fall through Saturday’s low $164.17 would bring the first major support level at $163.89 into play. Barring a crypto meltdown, we would expect Bitcoin Cash ABC to avoid heavier losses on the day.

At the time of writing, Litecoin was down by 0.4% to $60.01. A bearish start to the day saw Litecoin fall from a morning high $60.35 to a low $59.76 before finding support. While leaving the major support and resistance levels untested, Litecoin fell through the 23.6% FIB of $60 early on.

For the day ahead, a move back through to $60.40 levels would signal another run at $61 levels later in the day. A recovery across the broader market would bring the first major resistance level at $61.18 into play. Barring a broad-based crypto rally, however, we would expect Litecoin to continue to fall short of $62 levels.

Failure to move through to $60.40 levels could see Litecoin struggle through the day. A fall through the morning low $59.76 would bring the first major support level at $59.52 into play. Barring a crypto sell-off, we would expect Litecoin to avoid heavier losses on the day.
