Bitcoin Cash – ABC – Eyes $220

Bitcoin Cash ABC rose by 2.19% on Thursday. Reversing a 2.18% fall from Wednesday, Bitcoin Cash ABC ended the day at $219.23.

A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin Cash ABC fall to an early morning intraday low $214 before finding support.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $212.54, Bitcoin Cash ABC rose to a late afternoon intraday high $220.6.

Bitcoin Cash ABC came up short of the first major resistance level at $223.68 before easing back to $218 levels.

A bullish end to the day left Bitcoin Cash ABC at $219 levels.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash ABC was up by 0.33% to $219.95. Bucking the trend early, Bitcoin Cash ABC rose to an early morning high $219.95.

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

For the day ahead, Bitcoin Cash ABC would need to hold onto $219 levels to support further upside on 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 $221.89.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, however, Thursday’s high $220.6 would likely pin Bitcoin Cash ABC back.

Failure to hold onto $219 levels could see Bitcoin Cash ABC hit reverse. A fall through to sub-$218 levels would bring the first major support level at $215.29 into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, Bitcoin Cash ABC should steer clear of the second major support level at $211.34.

Litecoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

For the day ahead, a move back through the morning high to $55 levels would bring the first major resistance level at $56.25 into play.

Litecoin would need the support of the broader market, however, to break out from Thursday’s high $55.2.

In the event of another crypto rally, the second major resistance level at $57.56 could come into play before any pullback.

Failure to move back through the morning high to $55 levels could see Litecoin fall deeper into the red.

A fall through to sub-$54 levels would bring the first major support level at $52.59 into play before any recovery.

Barring an extended sell-off through the day, however, Litecoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $50.24.
