  • BCH/USD is changing hands at $480 while hammering profusely at the 50% Fibo resistance.
  • Coinbase crypto index fund product customers will move to new Coinbase Bundle product.

Bitcoin Cash bottomed out last week breaking below the lifeline support at $500. The crypto traded lows of $427 before the buyers entered and pushed the price above $440. However, BCH/USD was stuck in a range below $460. Consequently, the market turned bullish on Monday 15 morning (GMT) as technical levels gave in to a spike. At the same time, speculation in the market is on the rise amid Tether (USDT) selloff.

A break above the moving average triggered more gains above the bearish trendline. Further gains broke above $500 but the trend turned bearish marginally below $520. At the time of press, BCH/USD is changing hands at $480 while hammering profusely at the 50% Fib retracement level with the last swing high of $536 and a swing low of $427. Indicators like the RSI have retracted from the overbought zone and the MACD is ranging at +7.9.  

Looking the chart of BCH/USD, the path of least hindrance is to the north while a break above the 50% Fib level will open the way for more gains back above $500.
