BCH hits $550 as market shows signs of recovery
BCH, the native token of the Bitcoin Cash blockchain, is the best-performing asset among the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market cap over the past 24 hours. The coin gained about 5% during that period, rising past the $550 level and currently trading around $567 per coin.
This positive move comes as the wider cryptocurrency market staged a mild recovery following Monday’s pullback. Bitcoin has reclaimed a price above $110,000 after dipping into the $107,000 range over the weekend.
Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, also climbed back above $4,400 after testing a low near $4,250 on Monday. With bullish momentum returning gradually, Bitcoin Cash could extend its gains in the coming hours.
BCH eyes $608 high
The 4-hour BCH/USD chart looks bullish and orderly, reflecting Bitcoin Cash’s strong recent performance. Longer-term sentiment remains positive despite the marketwide sell-off earlier in the week.
A 4-hour RSI reading around 63 suggests BCH could move toward overbought territory if the uptrend continues. MACD lines are also in positive territory, indicating bullish momentum among key technical indicators.
If the recovery remains intact, BCH could push toward last week’s high near $608 within hours. A sustained rally would open the possibility of reclaiming August’s peak around $633.
That said, market conditions are still volatile and Bitcoin Cash may face a correction. In a pullback scenario, BCH could retest the weekend low near $521 and potentially slide toward $490 — a level not seen since July.
Despite the risks, BCH stands out as one of the stronger coins among the top 20 at present. Should broader market momentum hold, Bitcoin Cash has room to advance further in the near term.
