Good times did not last

The readings of BCH’s price movements on a daily chart didn’t tell a good story either. Since August 19, investors have been gradually reducing their BCH holdings. The surge in coin distribution sent key indicators – Relative Strength Index (RSI), Money Flow Index (MFI) and Chaikin Monkey Flow (CMF) – below their respective neutral points.
At the time of writing, the RSI was 40. The coin’s MFI was 39, while the CMF was -0.20. One reading of the positions held by these indicators was that the buying pressure for the BCH token had fallen over the past few days.
