Bitcoin Cash (BCH) Sees Significant Surge in Daily Trading Volume
- Bitcoin Cash (BCH) reaches its one-year peak of $196.71.
- The trading volume of BCH increased by 397% in the past 24 hours.
The current season for Bitcoin ETFs is effectively energizing bullish sentiment in the cryptocurrency market. Following an extended period of uncertainty, Bitcoin (BTC) has risen to achieve its one-year peak at $31K. Supporting BTC, forked cryptocurrencies have emerged as the leading gainers with unexpected price surges. Notably, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) experienced a 30% increase in the last 24 hours, reaching its one-year high.
In addition to BCH, Bitcoin SV (BSV) and Ethereum Classic (ETC) also saw significant price increases. This appears to be a consequence of the Citadel-backed and Fidelity-supported exchange EDX Markets (EDX) announcing the listing of Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and BCH.
With this impressive rally, BCH has re-entered the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. The altcoin surged 81% over the past week, achieving a market cap of $3.72 billion, breaking free from its previous consolidation.

Two indicators — moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) and average directional index (ADX) — validate the altcoin’s upward trend. The MACD line crossing above the signal line and forming a bullish histogram emphasizes the strength of the trend. Furthermore, the ADX at 35 indicates that the current trend is robust. The daily RSI value was recorded at 86.45, indicating that BCH is in the overbought territory.
The 24-hour period also noted a significant increase in Bitcoin Cash trading volumes. As per CoinMarketCap, BCH’s volume surged over 396% to $1,528,388,068. Conversely, this cryptocurrency also faced substantial liquidations following Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
