The Bollinger Bands are currently narrow and show further convergence as the price oscillates around the $435 mark. The indicator’s mean line highlights resistance to the bulls making it difficult for the Bitcoin Cash price to cross above the $440 mark. The upper limit of the indicator is moving downwards with a steep slope showing high selling activity in the markets. 

Overall, the 4-hour technical analysis issues a strong sell signal showing bearish dominance at the current price level. The analysis shows 14 of the 26 major technical indicators in support of a downwards movement for the Bitcoin Cash price. On the other hand, only two indicator shows some bullish presence at the current level. Meanwhile, the remaining ten indicators sit on the fence and do not issue any signals supporting either side of the market. 

The 24-hour technical analysis shares this sentiment, also issuing a sell signal showing a negative outlook for the Bitcoin Cash price action across the mid-term charts. The analysis shows 15 indicators suggesting a further breakdown of the Bitcoin Cash price against only three indicators suggesting an upward price movement. Meanwhile, eight indicators remain neutral at the time of writing. 

What to expect from the Bitcoin Cash price?

Traders should expect the Bitcoin Cash price to continue falling as the price returns to the psychological support level at the $400 level. At the current level, the selling activity is still too high as the broader cryptocurrency market presents a bearish outlook. The pressure prevents the bulls from gathering momentum and therefore prevents any meaningful breakthroughs. The short-term indicators and the mid-term technical analyses also reinforce this suggestion.
