Key Takeaways
After weeks of mixed price action, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is at a turning point.
The coin broke above a key resistance level but quickly slipped below its channel structure, casting doubt on what would happen next.
The charts show bullish and bearish signals, making the next few weeks crucial for the trend.
The weekly time frame BCH price analysis gives mixed signs.
On the bullish side, Bitcoin Cash broke out from a descending resistance trend line, reaching a high of $632.64.
While BCH fell last week, it validated the resistance trend line as support (green icon), a customary movement after such a breakout.
However, there has also been a bearish development during this same price movement.
Since April, the Bitcoin Cash price increase was contained inside an ascending parallel channel, and last week’s decline triggered a breakdown below it.
The triangle existed for five months, so its breakdown is a negative sign that could lead to an extended correction.
So, the retest of the previous resistance and the channel breakdown are conflicting signs that do not align.
Either one or the other has to win, meaning the other will be invalidated.

Momentum indicators are also unclear. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) are in positive territory.
However, they are both declining, mimicking the loss of momentum from the price action.
So, based on the weekly time frame, it is unclear whether the BCH price has finished its correction or if new lows are still likely.
A closer look at the movement since April suggests the BCH correction will continue.
The Bitcoin Cash price completed a bullish five-wave increase since April (green), which ended at the channel’s resistance trend line on Aug. 13.
Since then, the BCH price has fallen, but the decrease is too short relative to the previous rally to be a complete correction.
Rather, wave A is likely in an A-B-C correction (red), eventually leading to new lows.
If this is the correct count, the Bitcoin Cash price is currently completing wave B, after which another decline is likely.

The correction could end at the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement support at $490, a horizontal support area.
Momentum indicators also suggest the decline is not over yet.
The RSI and MACD generated bearish divergences (orange) before the decline, and neither has broken them.
Until that happens and BCH moves back inside the channel’s confines, the BCH trend remains bearish.
Today, Bitcoin Cash’s price sits in a zone of uncertainty.
The recent breakdown hints at a deeper correction, but holding support levels could still support the bullish case.
Until momentum clearly shifts one way or another, BCH remains caught between the possibility of a bounce or more downside.
