$BCH Drops 12% in a Week — Can Bulls Defend $220–$240?

#Bitcoincash is facing strong selling pressure after falling around 7.7% in the last 24 hours and nearly 12% over the past week. The decline came as broader crypto sentiment weakened following fresh concerns about U.S. interest rates.

BCH’s Open Interest also dropped 9.6%, showing that traders are reducing their positions as uncertainty increases.

Long-Term Trend Still Looks Weak

BCH had spent nearly two years trading inside a large price range. That structure broke down in May, and the recent rally toward $300 appears to have been a retest of the old support zone, which has now turned into resistance.

The rejection near $300 suggests sellers are still active.

Weekly indicators also remain weak. RSI near 39 shows bearish momentum, while CMF around -0.24 points toward capital leaving the market. OBV has also been trending lower, adding more pressure to the bearish case.

The major downside level to watch is $188, a support area from 2023.

Can Bulls Still Fight Back?

The daily chart offers some hope. BCH previously broke above the $250 area, turning it into potential support.

For bulls, defending the $220–$240 zone is extremely important. Holding this region could create another recovery attempt.

However, a daily breakdown below $222 would weaken the bullish setup significantly.

If Bitcoin strengthens and moves above $82K, BCH could also regain momentum and potentially attempt another move toward $300+ later.
