Bitcoin Cash has a strong positive correlation to Bitcoin, in terms of price movement. The 30-day price correlation stands at +0.96, which means that BCH has been following the trend of Bitcoin in the past month.
Bitcoin appears primed for a push toward the $34.4k and $36k resistance areas, and this could propel Bitcoin Cash higher on the price charts as well. However, the longer-term trend remained bearish, and BCH could face strong sellers at $217 and $240.

Bitcoin Cash had traded within a range from $277 to $380 in 2022, until early May, when the price plummeted to the $180 mark. This was an ugly development for the bulls because the $278 support was a long-term horizontal level of significance. However, the price just crashed past it in late April/early May.
Technically, the market structure is strongly bearish as evidenced by BCH forming a series of lower highs and lower lows since November on the D1 chart. For the longer-term bias to flip to bullish, the price has to push past the $27-$300 area of resistance and flip it to support.
On the way up there, the $217 and $242 levels can also pose stiff resistance. Ultimately, Bitcoin’s own trend can force BCH higher, although a market structure shift might not take place.
