Bitcoin Cash has seen its monthly trajectory stall considerably. Earlier in the period, BCH approached a ceiling near $265, but subsequent weakness pushed the asset through the critical $250 barrier. The erosion continued as the coin dipped beneath its 100-day moving average, a break evident on the four-hour chart as well. Weekend selling took the pair down to test the $225 floor. Now trading just shy of $241 following a volume spike Tuesday that generated upside momentum, Bitcoin Cash climbed to $238.43 before advancing 1.5% to overcome the $239 hurdle. The BCH/USD pair is probing $241 as potential support, with further gains possible if the RSI indicates that bearish dominance is fading.
The situation for Ethereum Classic has grown more precarious. Down 7% across the week, the token changed hands at $6.29 against the dollar. After cracking through $6.39 in support, the next floor appears at $6.25, while sellers must contend with $6.89 overhead. The daily technical picture shows a weakening RSI suggestive of oversold conditions, though the MACD's crossover of its signal line hints at potential reversal. Should buyers maintain the $6.22 level, they preserve their footing.
Zcash stands out for steeper declines among major altcoins. The privacy coin shed 1.43% in today's session alone, having previously lost 8% to reach lows around $48.8. Substantial selling pressure looms between $55 and $58, yet the RSI is flashing constructive signals.
