Bitcoin SV (BSV) is battling key resistance from the 20DMA, as bulls attempt to secure foothold amid retracement move.
This comes following an explosive move for BSV, which shot-up +38% last week as DEX markets chased Bitcoin's short-lived recovery to $27,720 - in a move that saw off-shoots like BITCOIN and BTC20 pump.

This comes in the aftermath of a -12% retracement move, which was triggered by a failure to flip the 20DMA to support on August 31.

The -45% decline since has been dramatic, with both a golden cross (July 7) and a death cross (July 30) appearing on the chart.
With the 20DMA sat descendant under the 200DMA, it seems likely that downside movements could continue.

With indicators sounding a bullish signal, if the 20DMA flips to support then BSV has an upside target at the 200DMA around $35.50 (a potential +16.4%).
But, if downside slide continues then a visit to $25 is likely on
