Bitcoin Cash [BCH] Technical Analysis: BCH feels the blues as mid-week high subsides

Bitcoin Cash [BCH] has managed to maintain the high it achieved earlier this week when it surged by 7% and is currently trading at over $125. The collective crypto market declined on January 25, shaving $1 billion as major coins now see red.

At press time, the top-10 is split with some coins increasing and some decreasing, with BCH marginally falling in the latter. The fourth largest cryptocurrency in the market has declined by less than one percent against the U.S. dollar as the market cap has fallen below $2.3 billion and is currently pegged at $2.23 billion.

In terms of exchange volume division, L-Bank leads the charge, accounting for $25.73 million or 10.76 percent of the total volume in the BCH/BTC trading pair. Following up is P2PB2B in the next three spots with the following pairs BCB/USD, BCH/BTC, and BCH/ETH with 6.98 percent, 6.61 percent and 6.12 percent of trade volume respectively.
