Short-Term Market Outlook
BCH is trading in the $586.50 – $600 range intraday with current price at $598 level. 24-hour change +0.28% slightly up, volume at $120.59M moderate. Short-term trend upward, price holding above EMA20 ($593.82$), which is positive for intraday bulls. RSI at 56.11 in neutral zone, no overbought signal. MACD histogram positive and evolving upward, momentum in favor. However, Supertrend giving bearish signal and $621.70 resistance line active. In the next 24-48 hours, $600 psychological barrier may be tested but BTC wrong move creates risk. In MTF context, 16 strong levels across 1D/3D/1W timeframes: 3 supports/5 resistances on 1D, overall resistance weighted. Short-term targets up $646.74$, down $562.80$.

Intraday Critical Levels
Nearby Support Zones
Current supports: $585.41 (score 81/100) – Most critical, upward scenario valid until broken, quick invalidation point. Second $594.76 (74/100) – Near EMA20, rebound expected if holds. Deep support $562.80 (64/100), but drop to here low probability in 24 hours. These levels ideal for scalping, stop-losses placed 1-2% below supports.
Nearby Resistance Zones
Current resistances: $603.49 (86/100) – Strongest, momentum increases on breakout here. Next $616.20 (73/100) – Transition point near Supertrend $621.70. Long-term $646.74 (63/100). Watch for volume increase at these levels, high risk of quick return to supports on rejection.
Momentum and Speed Analysis
Short-term momentum bullish with MACD, histogram widening and above signal line. RSI balanced at 56, accelerates above 60. Supertrend bearish but closes above price strengthen momentum. Intraday speed analysis: $598-$600 zone consolidation, $603 volume breakout required for upward explosion. Downward speed triggered by close below $585. Volatility low, sudden spikes may come from BTC. For intraday traders, watch 1-4 hour candle closes, pay attention to RSI divergences. Risk: Prolonged sideways leads to squeeze, breakout brings volatility.
