This gave the buyers a boost to clear the 100 SMA resistance. The price sprung up in an engulfing candlestick stepping above $230 on Monday. However, an almost immediate rejection cut short the bullish action giving way for the ongoing correction.

For now, BCH/USD is dancing at $226.55 while immediately supported above the SMA 50. The SMA 100 is also in line to provide much-needed support. A rising but short-term trendline that has been tested three times is ready to prevent declines towards the key support at $225.
