- BCH bulls look for another leg up but must defend the 26-EMA support level on the daily chart.
Bitcoin Cash saw a massive 150% bull rally that started on December 2020 and peaked at $629 on January 10. The digital asset has experienced a healthy correction since then and aims for a new higher high.
Bitcoin Cash price can rise to $600 again
BCH is currently trading at $488 and must defend a crucial support level at $450, which is the 26-EMA on the daily chart. This moving average has served as a strong support point since December 25, 2020.
