What’s more important here is that the correlation of altcoins, in general, has risen as well. We can see this is the case, at least since November 6, from which point onwards, the correlation started increasing and is still on the rise.

Bitcoin Cash 4-hour chart

The 4-hour chart for bitcoin cash showed a bullish prospect for the coin despite the volatility. Perhaps, if the price does break higher as shown, the monthly returns will flip from being negative to positive. Bitcoin cash has formed a descending broadening wedge, which suggests a breakout to the north.

Rationale

The rationale for this bullishness is the pattern, additionally, we have the stable volume as indicated by the OBV indicator, which suggested that despite the price drop, the volume has managed to stay strong.

However, both RSI and Stochastic RSI indicate that BCH is in the overbought zone and will head lower. This indication will be important as it might push the coin lower.

Conclusion

If so, then the support lines [shown in the above chart] will come into action; the support lines will prevent BCH from heading lower. Since the 1st two lines were already tested [wick down], we might expect the second support to hold the price.

The price might even start a bounce from the second support, hence, an over long would be a good position.
