Bitcoin Cash Price Analysis: Key Targets to Consider Ahead of May Network Upgrade

Published by

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) was among the best gainers in the last 24 hours among the top 20 crypto assets, excluding Bitcoin (BTC). The mid-cap altcoin, with a fully diluted valuation of about $7.5 billion and a 24-hour average trading volume of about $236 million, gained 5 percent to trade about $382 on Friday, May 2, during the mid-North American session.

As a result, BCH price gained over 22 percent in the last four weeks, signaling bullish sentiment. Moreover, the wider altcoin market recorded bullish sentiment as the BTC price regained $92k as a crucial support level.

Bitcoin Cash Network Growth Factors

The Bitcoin Cash network has grown significantly in the past few years, bolstered by its 345k on-chain holders and fixed supply. However, the Bitcoin Cash network has faced intense competition from new and flashy layer one (L1) projects led by Solana (SOL) and Ethereum (ETH).

In a bid to ensure sustainable development and adoption, the Bitcoin Cash Network is preparing for a major upgrade on May 15, 2025. The upcoming BCH network upgrade will introduce advanced smart contracts functionalities through the Targeted Virtual Machine Limits

Midterm Targets for BCH Price

Since April 2024, BCH’s price has consolidated between $273 and $641, without a clear breakout. After failing to rally above the 2018 all-time high during the 2021 crypto rally, BCH is well-positioned to enter its price discovery phase in the coming months.

In the daily timeframe, BCH’s price has consistently closed above major resistance trend lines and is now aiming for the next target of around $423. Furthermore, the daily MACD line has already crossed above the zero line and the histogram continues to suggest a bullish sentiment.

Having a stop loss around $311 and midterm target of about $707 is well positioned to pay well for leveraged traders in the nearest future.
