Bitcoin Cash – ABC – Holds onto $400

Bitcoin Cash ABC slipped by 0.23% on Monday. Following a 16.1% rally on Sunday, Bitcoin Cash ABC ended the day at $415.03.

A choppy morning saw Bitcoin Cash ABC rise to an early morning intraday high $423.62 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the major resistance levels, Bitcoin Cash ABC slid to an early afternoon intraday low $382 before finding support.

Holding above the first major support level at $376.51, Bitcoin Cash ABC recovered to $400 levels through the afternoon.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash ABC was down by 1.19% to $410.07. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin Cash ABC fall from a morning high $421.44 to a low $410.07.

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

For the day ahead, a hold above $407 levels would support a move back into the green. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin Cash ABC to take a run at the first major resistance level at $431.77.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, this morning’s high and Monday’s high $423.62 would likely cap any upside on the day.

Failure to hold above $407 levels could see Bitcoin Cash ABC slide deeper into the red. A pullback through to sub-$400 levels would bring the first major support level at $390.15 into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, Bitcoin Cash ABC will likely steer clear of sub-$380 levels in the event of heavier losses on the day.

For the day ahead, a move through to $91.40 levels would support a run at the first major resistance level at $95.41.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to breakout from $92 levels in the event of a recovery.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, Monday’s high $95.09 and the first major resistance level will likely limit the upside on the day.

Failure to move through to $91.40 levels could see Litecoin take a bigger hit on the day. A pullback through to $89 levels would bring the first major support level at $87.66 into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, sub-$86 levels would likely be avoided on the day.
