Moreover, there was a close above the $220 level and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). It opened the doors for more gains above the $230 resistance level.

Moreover, the 50% Fib retracement level of the crucial drop from the $333 high to $199 low is near the $266 level. Therefore, a clear break above $240 might call for a move towards the $265 level.

Looking at the chart, bitcoin cash price is clearly facing a strong resistance near the $240 level. If it continues to struggle below the $240 level, there is a risk of more downsides below the $220 and $210 levels in the near term.
