Bitcoin Cash Stalls Below $540 as $475–$490 FVG Comes Into Focus

• BCH trades at $515.09, holding just above $513.83 support while facing firm resistance near $530.56 and $540.

• Repeated rejections below $540 on the 4H chart show strong supply pressure in that zone.

• A Fair Value Gap between $475 and $490 remains untested, with invalidation below $440.

Bitcoin Cash was operating close to a key resistance area with the short-term momentum decelerating on the 4-hour chart. Price was trading below the $540 ceiling and intraday was experiencing a slight downside pressure.

As of reporting, the BCH traded at $515.09 representing a 1.0% decrease over the 24 hours. The asset was also trading at 0.007698 BTC and recording a 1.7 percent increase over Bitcoin. CipherPulse chart data put the short-term support at $513.83 and the 24-hour resistance at $530.56.

Price Holds Below $540 Resistance Barrier

The four-hour chart revealed the recurrent rejections below the 540 resistance band. It is important to note that this area was defended by the sellers in multiple instances, which allowed them to avoid a breakout attempt. There were several upper wicks around this zone all of which indicated strong supply pressure.

Nevertheless, BCH was kept in a wider consolidation framework of between $510 and $540. The intraday resistance was at $530.56, which corresponded very well with the upper range limit. Thus, this field remained a restriction to the upward growth.

At the same time, the present price of $515.09 placed BCH just above the short-term price range of $513.83. It was closer to volatility on a short-term basis. A prolonged upward movement beyond the point of $530.56 would put the 540 point back on the map. On the other hand, the inability to retain $513.83 would reveal less liquidity areas.

Untested Fair Value Gap Emerges as Key Downside Focus Below Range

Below the active range, the chart marked a Fair Value Gap between $475 and $490. This zone followed a sharp recovery from the $440 region. The imbalance formed after a rapid upward move erased prior losses.

Notably, the chart showed a strong bullish impulse from near $440 toward $530. That rally left limited trading activity inside the $475–$490 band. As a result, this zone remains technically untested.

If price breaks below $513.83, momentum could drive BCH toward this gap. The $475–$490 region may attract renewed participation. However, a decisive break below $440 would invalidate the highlighted imbalance structure.

BCH Approaches Decision Point as Price Tests Range Boundaries

For the bullish case, BCH must reclaim $530.56 and hold above it. That move would reopen a test of the $540 resistance band. A break above $540 could extend price toward the upper consolidation boundary.

In the bearish scenario, price must fall below $513.83 with volume support. That breakdown would likely direct the price toward $490 initially. Further pressure could push BCH into the $475 area. Should sellers maintain control, $440 becomes the critical invalidation level. Until either boundary breaks, BCH remains confined within its defined four-hour range.
