Bitcoin Cash Price Prediction 2025: BCH Forecast Reveals Huge Gains Ahead

Last Updated

Key Takeaways

  • Bitcoin Cash could rally as high as $569.58 in 2025, driven by a potential Fed rate cut and bullish technical setup.
  • The 2026 forecast is less optimistic, with a maximum target of $360.78, as profit-taking may pull the uptrend back.
  • By 2030, BCH might trade between $720.65 and $1,574.93, fueled by adoption, but it’s unlikely to surpass its all-time high

On several occasions, Bitcoin Cash faced rejection after trying to break past $400. But today, that attempt has become successful with the coin rising above the threshold.

This increase means Bitcoin Cash’s price is now nearly 50% up from its price 30 days ago. But does this mean that the coin, which is a 2017 hard fork of Bitcoin (BTC), could see a new yearly high in 2025?

In this piece, CCN examines Bitcoin Cash price predictions from this year till 2030.

Bitcoin Cash Price Prediction

Contrary to the performance the coin had earlier, Bitcoin Cash has recently experienced respite. For some, this could mark the beginning of an extended rally for the cryptocurrency.

Whether that will happen is only a matter of time. In this section, CCN reveals the potential Bitcoin Cash price prediction for 2025, 2026, and 2030.

Minimum BCH Price Prediction Average BCH Price Prediction Maximum BCH Price Prediction
2025 $223.66 $495.11 $569.58
2026 $180.24 $253.43 360.78
2030 $720.65 $1,043.61 $1,574.93

Bitcoin Cash Price Prediction 2025

After enduring a rough first quarter, Bitcoin Cash price prediction for 2025 might be bullish for the rest of the year. One reason for this is the expected Fed rate cut before the end of the last quarter. If that happens, BCH could trade between a swing low of $223.66 and a swing high of $569.58.

Bitcoin Cash Price Prediction 2026

2026 might not be as bullish for BCH as 2025. By that time, holders might have booked profits, and this could drive Bitcoin Cash’s price as low as $180.24.

At the maximum, BCH could trade at $360.76 in 2026.

Bitcoin Cash Price Prediction 2030

For some, 2030 should take BCH back towards its all-time high. But while the price might experience an exponential increase, it might not hit a new peak.

That said, Bitcoin Cash’s price is expected to trade between $720.65 and $1,574.93 by 2030.

Bitcoin Cash Price Analysis

Looking at the weekly chart, we observed that BCH’s price has broken out of a falling channel. This breakout seems to have invalidated the bearish bias around the cryptocurrency.

Apart from that, the 12 EMA (blue) has crossed above the 26 EMA (orange), indicating a bullish trend. Likewise, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) reading has moved to the positive region.

This move, if sustained, indicates that BCH’s market value could climb higher. In terms of its potential targets this year, Bitcoin Cash’s price might rally to $569.58, positioned at the 0.236 Fibonacci level.

However, if selling pressure increases for most of the remainder of the year, this prediction might not come to pass. In that case, BCH might decline toward $223.66.

Short-term Bitcoin Cash Price Prediction

Like the weekly chart, analysis of the daily chart presented a bullish outlook. Based on the BCH/USD chart below, the 20-day EMA (blue) has crossed over the 50 EMA (yellow), indicating a golden cross.

As a result of this bullish crossover, Bitcoin Cash’s price is likely to breeze past the resistance at $441.54. If that happens, the next move for BCH might be a rally toward $500.

Meanwhile, if the shorter EMA later crosses below the longer one, this prediction might not come to pass. In that scenario, BCH’s market value might decline below the 0.618 golden ratio and move toward  $303.36.

CCN Strength Index

The CCN Strength Index combines an array of advanced market signals to quantify the strength of individual cryptocurrencies over a recent 30-day period.

Every day, it assigns a strength score, ranging from 0 to 100, to the top 500 assets by market capitalization on CoinMarketCap, focusing on both trend direction and the intensity of price movements.

  • 0 to 24: Assets exhibit significant weakness, showing signs of sustained downtrend behavior.
  • 25 to 35: The price tends to move within stable bounds with minimal volatility.
  • 36 to 49: Assets begin a stable uptrend but without strong surges.
  • 50 to 59: Consistent growth with moderate price advances, building momentum.
  • 60+: Sharp price movements and high demand indicate stronger volatility and trend shifts.

The index dynamically adapts to rapid changes. For example, an asset experiencing a 100% increase within a short timeframe would see a sharp jump in its score to reflect the intensity of the rise.

However, should that asset stabilize at this new price level, the score will gradually taper down and align with the dampened momentum as the movement normalizes. The same principle applies to rapid declines: a sudden drop will spike the score downward, but as volatility decreases, the score will slowly adjust back up.

Bitcoin Cash Advantages and Disadvantages

CCN’s Senior Research Analyst, Toghrul Aliyev, investigated Bitcoin Cash deeply and found its advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages of Bitcoin Cash

  • Better On-chain Scalability : Bitcoin Cash’s 32MB block size allows it to process transactions 32 times faster than Bitcoin. This makes Bitcoin Cash ideal for everyday use as “cash.” Users can make quick purchases, like buying a cup of coffee, without waiting for transaction confirmation.

  • Lower Transaction Fees: Bitcoin Cash offers lower transaction fees, averaging about $0.02 per transaction.
  • Wide adoption : More than 3,450 merchants accept Bitcoin Cash, which shows strong and growing adoption worldwide.

Disadvantages of Bitcoin Cash

Bitcoin Cash Transactions

  • Low utilization: Bitcoin Cash has 15-20 times fewer active addresses and transactions than Bitcoin. As a result, its blocks rarely exceed 1MB in size despite the 32MB capacity.

  • Concentrated Wealth Distribution: With Bitcoin Cash , 1,561 addresses hold 60.39% of the total supply, while with Bitcoin , 15,876 addresses hold 59.96%. A higher concentration of wealth in fewer addresses increases the risk of market manipulation and reduces decentralization.
  • Mining Difficulty Risk: The Emergency Difficulty Adjustment (EDA) in Bitcoin Cash (BCH) adjusts the mining difficulty more frequently than Bitcoin to maintain stable block generation during changes in mining power. Miners can manipulate the EDA by temporarily moving their mining power away from Bitcoin Cash. When the network detects reduced mining activity, it lowers the difficulty. Miners then return to the BCH network, benefiting from the reduced difficulty of mining blocks more easily and profitably. 
  • Inconsistent Block Times: Manipulation of the EDA results in erratic block time. When miners leave the network, block generation slows down until the difficulty adjusts downward, which can cause congestion in the network. On the other hand, after miners return, blocks are mined rapidly at the lower difficulty until the difficulty readjusts.
  • Decentralization Issues: If difficulty drops too low after EDA manipulation, attackers can launch a 51% attack, compromising the network’s security.

From the Bitcoin Cash Whitepaper

Bitcoin Cash is a spin-off from Bitcoin. Surprisingly, it does not have its own whitepaper or technical documentation. 

However, it is worth noting what the original Bitcoin whitepaper , published in 2008, says. The documentation states: “What is needed is an electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust, allowing any two willing parties to transact directly with each other without the need for a trusted third party.”

“Transactions that are computationally impractical to reverse would protect sellers from fraud, and routine escrow mechanisms could easily be implemented to protect buyers.”

What Is Bitcoin Cash?

Although many people consider Bitcoin and crypto interchangeable, that does not mean BTC has always given its backers what they want. In 2017, the blockchain developers were split. Some thought the best thing about Bitcoin was the technical aspects of blockchain technology. Others thought the coin’s value was derived from its use as a payment method.

This led to a hard fork that created a new blockchain version. 

One of the forks kept the Bitcoin name, while the other became Bitcoin Cash. Bitcoin Cash was designed to be quicker, cheaper, and able to compete with electronic payment giants like PayPal. 

The blockchain needed its own crypto, and BCH was formed. This coin rewards the system’s miners and can also be bought, sold, and traded on exchanges.

How Bitcoin Cash Works

Bitcoin Cash, which shares a large chunk of code and history with Bitcoin, operates in much the same way as its parent chain. People who want to verify transactions and add blocks to the blockchain solve increasingly complex mathematical equations. In other words, the blockchain has a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism. 

What makes Bitcoin Cash different from Bitcoin itself is its large block size. Its developers argue that this makes it much quicker to work with than the original blockchain. 

Is Bitcoin Cash a Good Investment?

It is hard to say. BCH has maintained a price rise over the last 12 months. On the other hand, it has been performing poorly recently.

Either way, you should do your research before spending your money on BCH.

Will Bitcoin Cash go up or down?

No one knows for sure right now. Although the BCH price predictions are generally positive, price predictions very often end up being wide of the market. You should also remember that prices can and do go down and up. 

Should I invest in Bitcoin Cash?

Before you decide whether or not to invest in Bitcoin Cash, you will have to do your research, not only on BCH but also on similar cryptos, such as Bitcoin itself and Bitcoin SV (BSV). Ultimately, though, you will have to make this decision yourself. If you decide to put your money into BCH, remember that you must never invest more than you can afford to lose. 

FAQs 

How many Bitcoin Cash are there?

On May 8, 2025, there were about 19.8 million BCH in circulation, representing the total supply.

Will Bitcoin Cash reach $1,000?

Although BCH has traded at more than $1,000 before, it has not done so since May 2021. Our forecasts think Bitcoin Cash could, potentially, reach that level again in 2030.

What is Bitcoin Cash used for?

BCH supports the Bitcoin Cash blockchain. People can also buy, sell, and trade it on exchanges.
