This past week, there was a slow and steady decline from the $452 swing high in bitcoin cash price against the US Dollar. The BCH/USD pair made many attempts to recover above $450, but it failed. As a result, the price declined below the $440 support and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). It traded as low as $431 and it is currently consolidating losses.
On the upside, an initial resistance is near the $435-436 zone. It is close to the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $452 high to $431 low.
