Looking on the downside, the middle line of the 1-hour Bollinger band at $249 serves local support being closely followed by the 50-hour SMA at the $248 level. If the price manages to go past this barrier, the sell-off could be extended into the 100-hour SMA and the psychological $240 level.

Bitcoin Cash-the the only hard fork around today that started trading back in 2017, is now left behind. Bitcoin Cash started underperforming bitcoin back in May but two months were more than enough time for the forked cryptocurrency to underperform the leading crypto asset by 18% so far this year. It’s usual for altcoins to outperform bitcoin during the bullish market cycles but altcoins with low or medium market capitalizations often experience high volatility compared to Bitcoin which could yield higher returns if the bitcoin price increases as well.
