Chaikin Money Flow (CMFI) has fallen below zero since September 15, indicating that capital inflows have been dismal and stagnant over the past two days.
Likewise, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) retreated from the overbought zone but rebounded from the 50 mark. This demonstrated that the buying pressure eased but took a slight momentum at the time of writing this article.
On the 4-hour chart, the price has been fluctuating between $220 and $210 over the past two days. As the FOMC meeting scheduled for September 20 approaches, a range extension is likely in the coming hours before a spike in market volatility.
If so, BCH could target the high end of the range near $220.7, providing bulls with additional gains of 3.96% from the lowest and near-term support at $210.7.
A prolonged decline below $210 may ease at the H12 bullish order block (OB) of $198 to $203 (cyan). However, such an approach would invalidate the long implementation process.
