The price moved above the $500 resistance zone and also spiked above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the last significant drop from the $879 high to $470 low.

However, the upside move faced sellers near the $600 level and the price retreated below the $580 level. On the upside, there are many resistances aligned near the $600-620 levels. There is also a significant bearish trend line in place with resistance near $630 on the same chart.

Above the trend line, the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the last significant drop from the $879 high to $470 low is positioned at $674, which is also the previous support area.

Therefore, if bitcoin cash price continues to move higher, it is likely to face sellers near the $620 and $650 resistance levels. Only a close above $675 and the 50-day simple moving average ($710) could open the doors for more gains.

On the flip side, if the price fails to move past the $600. $620 and $650 resistance levels, it may possibly resume its downside move towards the $500 level. In the mentioned case, there are even chances of a fresh yearly low below $470 in the near term.
