Bitcoin Cash jumps by 11% in a matter of hours, the pump must go on

  • Bitcoin Cash (BCH) smashed $400.00 and hit the highest level since June 2019.
  • If the upside momentum is sustained, BCH may hit the pivot point at $500.00 soon.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has gone mad as the coin has gained over 11% in a matter of hours to trade at $425 by press time. The fourth largest coin with the current market cap of $7.7 billion has developed strong bullish momentum with no clear fundamental reason available so far. Currently, BCH/USD is at the highest level since June 28, 2019. 

BCH/USD: Technical picture would improve with a break above $400

The coin is deeply overbought both on intraday and daily charts, but the RSI shows no signs of reversal so far. 

From the technical point of view, the picture will improve significantly, if the price settles above $400.00. In this case, the upside momentum may gain traction and bring $441.00 into focus. This resistance is reinforced by SMA100 weekly. Also, a pivotal point is seen at $500.00.

On the downside, if the price slips below $400.00, the correction may be extended towards the first bearish target of $370 (the lower border of the recent consolidation channel). It is followed by psychological $300.00 and $281 (SMA50 daily).

XRP approaches key support as risk-off sentiment deepens
Ripple (XRP) is trading at $1.06 on Monday, maintaining its position within a broader bearish trend. The token’s technical outlook continues to deteriorate, pressured by declining retail participation. Appetite for risk assets remains lethargic, as reflected in the Fear & Greed Index, which is embedded in the Fear territory at 28.
Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP extend decline amid renewed risk-averse sentiment
The cryptocurrency market remains weak on Monday, with Bitcoin (BTC) falling toward the nearest $62,000. Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) reflect the sell-off across altcoins, edging lower toward $1,800 and $1.05, respectively. Risk appetite remains subdued, as the Fear & Greed Index holds steady at 28, deep within Fear territory.
The Bitcoin futures yield collapse: Once over 20%, now less than Treasury notes
Once a goldmine for carry traders, Bitcoin futures have flipped, consistently underperforming plain‑vanilla U.S. Treasuries every month since February. Carry trades consistently yielded 20% or more across regulated and unregulated crypto exchanges during the 2021 bull market. The strategy involved shorting Bitcoin futures while simultaneously buying a spot exchange-traded fund (ETF).
The crypto market is moving in the opposite direction to equities
The crypto market’s market capitalisation has fallen by 1% over the past 24 hours, returning to levels last seen in mid-July. The positive momentum the market showed in the first half of last week failed to take hold. Once again, we are seeing a negative correlation with the Nasdaq 100 index, this time in the form of falling cryptocurrencies while shares rise. Could this be becoming the new norm?
Bitcoin: Bulls hold the line
Bitcoin (BTC) edges slightly lower, trading at $64,300 at the time of writing on Friday but holding firmly above a key support zone. US-listed spot Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) support BTC as they continued to attract institutional flows through Thursday, pointing to the fourth consecutive week of net inflows.
