BCH Soars on EDX Exchange

This growth among new holders signifies a shift in market sentiment towards BCH, attributed to its inclusion on the EDX exchange. The listing validates BCH, indicating its acceptance by established financial institutions and its readiness for a wider audience of investors.

Upbit, South Korea’s leading digital asset exchange, has witnessed a significant surge in trading activity, contributing to the recent price rally of Bitcoin Cash (BCH). According to data from Coingecko, the BCH/KRW pair listed on Upbit recorded a trading volume of $557.63 million in the past 24 hours.

This volume is approximately 3.5 times larger than the trading volume of $160 million in Upbit’s BTC/KRW pair and 5.5 times larger than the BCH/USD volume of $87 million on the Coinbase exchange listed on Nasdaq.

The availability of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) on an exchange backed by prominent institutions has sparked enthusiasm even in the far east, as evidenced by the data.

Bitcoin Cash Selected by EDX Markets for Trading Launch

According to Jamil Nazarali, CEO of EDX Markets, EDX Markets chose to include BCH, BTC, ETH, and LTC for trading at launch due to their compliance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regulations.

Lawrence Lewitinn, The Tie Director of Content and host, mentioned in the newsletter that Nazarali expressed confidence that Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash, as derivatives of Bitcoin, were not securities, although their interest was not substantial.

Lewitinn added that the BCH rally could be attributed to a mix of hope and greed, which are common ingredients that often drive market movements in cryptocurrency, regardless of underlying fundamentals.

Onchain data indicates increased participation by traders and speculators aiming to profit from the bullish sentiment prevailing in the BCH market. According to analytics firm IntoTheBlock, the BCH balance held by traders or wallets for less than a month has surged by 33% in the last 30 days.

BCH Indicators Confirm the BCH Bullish Momentum

BCH broke out of the consolidation zone that has lasted almost a year since July 2022. The spike is seen breaking out with a strong bullish candle at the $114 level, followed by succeeding small bullish candles, after which a further surge continued.

Furthermore, BCH’s price is trading above the 50-day and the 200-day moving averages, indicating that the bulls are currently in control. Besides, the moving average confirms the bullish momentum, with the 50 day moving average crossing the 200-day moving average at $125. At the time of writing, the 50-day moving average is trading at $209, while the 200-day is at $135.

This bullish momentum is also supported by the relative strength index of the period (14), which trades in the overbought region at 84, above the maximum buy line of 70. If this momentum persists, we should expect the price of BCH to reach the former resistance level of $388.

However, on the downside, after such a spike, a short retracement should see the price decline to $231 and $218, respectively, before the surge takes off again.
