Bitcoin Cash Soars to $600: BCH Smashes 2025 Highs in Defiant Rally
Bitcoin Cash just punched through a psychological barrier—flipping bears the bird as it clocks $600 for the first time this year. The 'forked one' isn’t asking permission.
Why this rally stings Wall Street:
While traditional finance still debates 'store of value' narratives, BCH bulldozes ahead with utility-first adoption. No bankers required—just nodes and nerve.
The cynical take:
Some hedge fund manager is definitely blaming this on 'speculative retail froth' while secretly FOMO-buying through a Cayman Islands shell company. Classic.
One thing’s clear: The market’s voting with its wallet. Again.
BCH derivatives and on-chain data show bullish bias
CoinGlass’ data shows that the futures’ Open Interest in Bitcoin Cash at exchanges rose from $432.04 million on Thursday to $655.31 million on Monday, levels not seen since April 10, 2024. Rising OI represents new or additional money entering the market and new buying, which could fuel the current BCH price rally.

Additionally, CryptoQuant data, as illustrated in The Graph below, indicates an increase in buying pressure on BCH. The Taker CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) for BCH has been positive and has increased since early May. This indicator measures the cumulative difference between market buy and sell volumes over a three-month period. When a 90-day CVD is positive and increasing, it suggests the Taker Buy Dominant Phase, while a negative and decreasing value indicates the Taker Sell Dominant Phase.
