Bitcoin Cash Price Prediction – BCH Could Rally to $500 If Bulls Breach $418.7 Resistance

Highlights:

• Bitcoin Cash is oscillating around the $ 418.7 resistance
• Rallying through the $418.7 resistance could push BCH to $500
• An environment that favors risk-on assets could help BCH rally 

Bitcoin Cash has surged 10% today, trading at $415.1. This is as investor optimism grows around a trade deal between the US and the UK. The price surge is part of the wider positive sentiment in the crypto market, which is recovering in the hope of better trade relations across world economies.

Trump Talks “Major” Agreement with the UK – Big for Bitcoin Cash

US President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social on Wednesday night that a “MAJOR TRADE DEAL” would be revealed during a press conference set for Thursday at the Oval Office. He later confirmed the deal was with the UK, stating it was a “very big and exciting day” for both countries.

The Financial Times also said the potential agreement could contain some clauses that exempt the UK’s 2% digital services tax on American tech companies. The US, on its part, will reduce tariffs on steel, cars, and aluminum originating from the UK. This would be a minor adjustment, yet it would still significantly reduce the friction of global trade relations. It is a factor that could cause Bitcoin Cash and other risk-on assets to rally in the foreseeable future.

US-China Trade Could Add to Bitcoin Cash Bullish Momentum

Still, based on macro factors, Bitcoin Cash is supported by positive developments in the US-China trade talks. While no breakthroughs are expected, the talks mark a distinct step in the right direction for alleviating tension that previously resulted in draconian tariffs on the US and China.

The trade war has already had a notable impact on the economy. The U.S. economy declined for the first time in three years during Q1, and economists at the IMF and World Bank continue to forecast global slowdowns alongside increased inflation due to tariffs. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell reinforced those concerns when he noted protracted trade hostilities could cause “serious damage.”

Analysts Project a 200% Bitcoin Cash Rally

Technical analysts are more optimistic about Bitcoin Cash’s long-term trajectory. Market participants believe the current rally could kickstart a primary breakout phase. Price projections indicate that BCH could increase 100-200% in 2-3 weeks. Initial targets are set at approximately $993 and subsequent resistance at $1,439.

Many in the crypto community are ardent holders of BCH and predict a new all-time high of $1,650 in 2025. Although predicting a 200% rally would be BCH’s market cap, the nature of cryptocurrencies has shown us they could prove otherwise. Marking the fifth week since the correction low, the current breakout is a timeframe that typically precedes robust parabolic moves.

If the current pace continues, Bitcoin Cash might achieve its peak in November 2021. As one analyst stated: “When crypto moves, it moves fast, and by the time you act, the move might already be gone.” 

Technical Analysis – Bitcoin Cash Trading at Critical Resistance

Bitcoin Cash is currently trading at the $418.7 resistance and struggling. If it rallies through this resistance, it could rally to $500 in the short term.

On the other hand, if bears take control, it could target $400.9 in the short term. 

Recap

Assets like Bitcoin Cash, among other cryptocurrencies, are greatly influenced by macroeconomic perceptions. Even a glimmer of easing trade war sentiment has caused some investors to place bets on digital assets, earning optimism. The short-term expectation might generate a further crypto rally. A combination of these factors could push Bitcoin Cash to over $500.
