Bitcoin Cash price overview: Bitcoin Cash price across the last ten days
Bitcoin Cash started the year with little to no momentum on either side as the price consolidated at the $350 level. The price continued to oscillate around the mark for a few days until January 3 when Bitcoin Cash price broke above the $375 mark.
The buyers initiated a bull rally that carried the price from the $350 mark to the $425 price level. BCH observed a correction at the level that caused the price to fall back to the $400 level. The price initiated another bull rally on January 5 albeit with a lower gradient.
The second bull rally enabled BCH to leave the $400 level and climb above the $450 level. However, the price failed in closing above the $450 mark and retraced to support level at $425. The price traded close to the mark until today when the BCH markets finally observed strong bullish momentum once again.
BCH rose from the $425 level to above the $500 level with strong bullish momentum. The price has climbed above the $520 mark and trades at $523.44 at press time.

The RSI has been on a steady increase and has risen above the 70.00 level. This suggests that there is low room for immediate upwards movement. If BCH continues to rise at this pace, the Bitcoin Cash price may observe another correction.

Conversely, if Bitcoin Cash price falls below the $500 level, BCH may revisit the $425 support level. However, that seems unlikely given the strong bullish pressure observed in the markets
