Latest Bitcoin Cash price and analysis (BCH to USD)
Over the last month, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has been attempting to recover from a substantial downtrend that hit the entire cryptocurrency market hard in July.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash is trading at around $307, losing about 4.2% since last week when it was trading at $320.
Will BCH recover soon or continue to consolidate?
Looking at the chart above, we can see that the price of BCH recovered during early August and was trading above all its EMAs only two weeks ago. Unfortunately, the gains were lost and the price came crawling back down to below $300. At its lowest point during the past fortnight, BCH touched $271 before recovering almost immediately to the $300-$310 level.
Since last week, price has been consolidating, meaning we should expect a move soon.
Volumes, which also seemed to be recovering earlier in the month, took a plunge to around $1 billion.
Last week, I mentioned I expect BCH to touch $360 if it keeps up its momentum. This is still a target for next month.
Be prepared for sudden moves towards $280 and down to $258 though. To go any lower, BCH would need to break most of its price walls – something I don’t think will happen.
In addition, BCH is trading close to its bottom vs BTC – as I highlighted earlier this month – meaning we could be near a reversal.
Safe trades!
BCH fundamentals
I recently spoke with Bitcoin Cash’s strongest advocate, Roger Ver, and discussed the most recent developments on the horizon for BCH. You can find all the details here, but the most juicy news seems to be the recent spike in adoption due to the implementation of smart contracts. Roger, like myself, believes key components for mass adoption are speed and flexibility. What Bitcoin Cash Oracles offers is a way for any user to easily deploy an “escrow” transaction that can be used to trade globally – without the hassle of trusting the other party.
I personally think these “trade escrows” will be key in terms of adoption, especially for work-related tasks. In a way, they do enable milestone-based funding, which may be the new and better way of conducting ICOs instead of simply creating an extra layer of complexity with STOs that require KYC and accreditation – something that goes against what we should be promoting within the crypto ecosystem.

About Bitcoin Cash
Bitcoin Cash was born out of the idea of making Bitcoin more practical for small, day-to-day payments. In May 2017, Bitcoin payments took about four days unless a fee was paid, which was proportionately too large for small transactions. A change to the code was implemented and Bitcoin Cash was born on 1st August 2017.
