Yesterday, we discussed that bitcoin cash price is clearly at a risk of more slides towards the $500 support against the US Dollar. The BCH/USD pair remained in a bearish zone and it struggled to move past the $530 resistance. The price even traded below the $500 level and formed a low at $495. Later, there was a minor upside correction above $500 and $505. Buyers pushed the price above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last slide from the $560 swing high to $495 low.
