Monday's rally continued through this morning, suggesting a possible bearish trend reversal beginning, in spite of regulators and governments having yet to roll out new regs. It's now down to whether investors can hold back from hitting the sell-button to lock in profits.
Bitcoin Cash gained 4.34% on Monday, reversing Sunday’s 1.47% fall, to end the day at $781.1, while also pulling Bitcoin Cash into positive territory at the start of the 3rd quarter.
A relatively range bound first half of the day saw Bitcoin Cash pullback to an intraday low $721.2 by mid-morning, Bitcoin Cash managing to steer clear of testing the day’s first major support level at $717.47 before a mid-day bounce.
Following the broader market, Bitcoin Cash jumped from $735.8 to an intraday high $797.6 in the early afternoon, with Bitcoin Cash breaking through the first major resistance level at $755.47 and second major resistance level at $773.33 to an intraday high $797.6 before pulling back to $780 levels by the day’s end.
For the bulls, Bitcoin Cash came within reach of $800 levels for the first time since sitting at $800 levels back on 23rd June.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash was up 4.42% to $815.5, with the latest move seeing Bitcoin Cash beginning to form a near-term bullish trend from 29th June’s swing lo $645.5, while the extended bearish trend remains intact, with Bitcoin Cash needing to break through the 23.6% FIB Retracement Level of $930 to begin a bearish trend reversal.
For the day ahead, a move back through a morning high $831.3 would support a run at the day’s second major resistance level at $843.03 to bring $900 levels into play, with Bitcoin Cash having moved through and held above the first major resistance level at $812.07 earlier in the day.
Failure to take a run at $840 levels could see investors look to lock in profits from Monday and this morning’s gains, which could see Bitcoin Cash slide back through the morning’s $779 low to bring the first major support level at $735.67 into play before any recovery, sub-$700 support levels likely to be left untested barring materially negative news hitting the wires.

Litecoin gained 5.49% on Monday, reversing Sunday’s 1.68% fall, to end the day at $85.46.
A relatively range bound morning saw Litecoin ease to an intraday low $78.32 before a broad based market rally kicked in through the early afternoon, Litecoin having held above the day’s first major support level at $77.78 through the morning.
The afternoon rally saw Litecoin break through the first major resistance level at $81.45 and second major resistance level at $83.26 to an intraday high $86.98 to test the day’s third major resistance level at $86.93 before easing back to $85 levels by the day’s end.
At the time of writing, Litecoin was up 4.39% to $89.2, the morning’s gains seeing Litecoin break through the day’s first major resistance level at $88.85 to test resistance at $90, with a morning high $90 before easing back, a near-term bullish trend beginning to form.
For the day ahead a run back through $90 would support a run at the day’s second major resistance level at $92.25 to bring the 23.6% FIB Retracement Level of $98 into play, any failure to break back through $90 in the middle of the day likely to see Litecoin pullback to the low $80s, though we would expect the day’s first major support level at $80.19 to be left untested.

For the day ahead, a move back through to $0.52 levels would support a run at the second major resistance level at $0.5272 to raise the prospects of a run at the 23.6% FIB Retracement Level of $0.5528 in the week that would begin a bearish trend reversal.
Failure to move back through to $0.52 levels could see Ripple’s XRP ease back to $0.50 levels by the day’s end, though the first major support level at $0.4623 would likely be left tested, the key for the bulls being a consolidation at $0.50 levels by the day’s end.
