BCH is trading between $195-219, depending on the exchange, and has a $3.34 billion capitalization.

BCH/USD Technical Indicators

The four-hour BCH/USD charts on Bitstamp show bulls are trying to keep above the $200 range. The long-term 200 Simple Moving Average (SMA) is still above the short-term 100 SMA, but the trendlines look as though they may cross hairs soon. Currently, this means the path toward the least resistance is still toward the downside. The four-hour Relative Strength Index (RSI) is still hovering in the middle between oversold and overbought regions, showing uncertainty in the midst. Looking at order books, bulls need to press past the current vantage point and keep above the $200 range. On the backside, if bears regain control there are some fairly solid foundations between now and $155.
