Latest Bitcoin Cash price and analysis (BCH to USD)
At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is trading at around $340 after a whopping 40% increase in price since last week.
Over the past 24 hours, BCH has pumped more than 19%.
Since the start of the new year, the price of BCH has risen $150 from about $190 to $340.
However, the price of BCH is still well below its 2019 summer high.
Will BCH start pushing higher again thanks to recent developments? And if so, what are the next levels of support to look out for?
Let’s take a look at the chart, courtesy of TradingView.
Bitcoin Cash is showing extremely positive signs. Since the start of the year, the altcoin has grown over 78%.
The cryptocurrency had been falling since late September after it lost close to 50% in value in just a few days. After a swift recovery during November, the altcoin came crashing back down well below the 20-day EMA.
Nevertheless, during December 2019, the market started to rebound. BCH has now crossed all its EMAs and has found support way above the 200-day EMA.
Last week, I said I expected BCH to trade between its EMAs for a while and to attempt to recover towards the 200-day EMA, around $280. BCH has instead exceeded my expectations and broke out massively to the upside.
The next big resistance levels are virtually non-existent, so we could see Bitcoin Cash pumping towards $400 soon.
In terms of volume, Bitcoin Cash is sitting at just above $7.5 billion – twice last week’s volume.
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.
