Bitcoin Cash breaches $190 – Will sellers push it lower?

Disclaimer: The information presented does not constitute financial, investment, trading, or other types of advice and is solely the writer’s opinion.

• BCH cracked the short-term support of $190 at press time. 
• Sellers gained more market control after the cracking $190 level. 

Bitcoin Cash [BCH] sustained more bearish pressure over the weekend (9-10 September) and lost hold of the $190 support at press time. In the meantime, Bitcoin [BTC] threatened to crack the range-low of $25.8k at publication time ahead of the Fed decision on 20 September. 

Will the bulls sustain the pressure?

Since 1 September, BCH has defended the $190 until the weekend (10 September). The extra bearish pressure tipped sellers to crack the $190, and buyers attempted to prevent further drop below $180, as shown by the extended low candlestick wick. 

But the BCH bulls failed to reclaim the $190 support at press time and could flip the level to resistance. Such a move could encourage sellers to lower BCH prices, especially if BTC fails to reclaim $26k in the short term. 

If so, shorting the altcoin at $190 with a take-profit at $180 could present modest gains. Aggressive sellers could place take-profits at $176. A secondary shorting opportunity could also be feasible if BCH drops to $165. 

However, a 4-hour chart candlestick session close above $193 will invalidate the short set-up. Such an upswing could set bulls to focus on the $200 roadblock.
