One of the market’s major crypto-assets that failed to note a major difference in its price over the last 24-hours is Bitcoin Cash. With a minor uptick of 0.94 percent, the crypto-asset’s valuation remained under $245 with a market cap of $4.46 billion. However, the crypto-asset registered a decent trading volume of $3.27 billion on the charts.

The token’s price was following an ascending channel which suggested a bearish breakout in the foreseeable future, but for time being, market indicators were bullish. The Parabolic SAR pointed to a positive trend as the dotted markers appeared under the price candles. Further, the Relative Strength Index or RSI pushed the token into the overbought zone.

After its halving in April, many expected Bitcoin Cash to face a significant attack due to the decline in hashrate, but to the community’s surprise, such a situation hasn’t come to pass. Yassine Elmandjra, a crypto-asset analyst at ARK Invest, said,

“Surprised we haven’t seen a large scale attack yet.”
