Despite the next visible ceiling being at 71.00, earlier gains have begun to ease, with bulls opting to secure profits.
Polygon (MATIC)
Polygon (MATIC) was one of last week's big movers, however it has now fallen for a fourth straight session.
MATIC/USD dropped to a bottom at $1.41 on Tuesday, less than a day after price was trading at $1.50.
On Saturday, polygon bulls pushed prices deep into overbought territory by leading the token to its strongest point since last April.

|  | Bitcoin Cash Closes 2022 With A Year-Low – Will 2023 Be Better?
It is no surprise for Bitcoin Cash to perform this poorly when the entire crypto market fell deeper in the bear market due to various negative factors, including the much-publicized collapse of crypto exchange FTX.
According to CoinGecko, the token is down a further 1.4% in the past 24 hours. This doesn’t bode well as major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have started 2023 very weakly as well.
Bitcoin Cash And Bitcoin Connections
Since Bitcoin Cash is a fork of Bitcoin, BCH will have a strong correlation to BTC most of the time. To have a glimpse of where BCH will go, a look at what crypto analysts think of Bitcoin will provide strong insights on what the future for BCH will look like.
CryptoQuant analyst Dan Lim recently released his take on the current state of affairs in Bitcoin. He noticed that the top crypto is being dictated by a small number of whales. However, his analysis is contradicted by recent news that BTC is actually being accumulated by whales.
This might mean that Dan Lim’s analysis points to retail investor activity or a mix of both retail and whale activity.

|  | Coinbase Wallet Is Dropping Support For XRP, BCH, XLM And ETC
Users lose interest in some cryptocurrencies as negative news about them spreads in specialized and mainstream media. At least, that is what Coinbase thinks, as they will soon stop supporting some tokens with a lot of trajectory among crypto enthusiasts.
On November 23, Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the U.S., announced that its wallet will stop supporting XRP, BCH, XLM, and ETC due to poor customer usability.
Coinbase Cares About Usage, Not Tradition
According to Coinbase, January 23 will be the deadline for users to view and transfer their tokens to another wallet provider. They will then have to import their recovery phrases to the new wallet to use their assets.
The Coinbase Wallet comes preconfigured to work with the following networks: Arbitrum, Avalanche C-Chain, BNB Chain, Gnosis Chain, Fantom Opera, Optimism, Polygon, xDai, and Solana. In addition, it supports all Ethereum-compatible networks and the Ethereum Virtual Machine (PVM).
Formerly one of the top 3 cryptocurrencies in the ecosystem, XRP came to have a vast 'army' of fans dominating all of Crypto Twitter. However, Ripple's legal battle against the SEC has led most of its community to abandon their previous engagement. It currently sits on the seventh spot on the list of cryptocurrencies with the most market capitalization.
XRP was one of the most promising tokens in recent years due to its speed in processing payments, allowing up to 50,000 transactions per second worldwide, regardless of th...
|  | BCH Price: Investors May Not Want To Go Long Yet On BCH – Here's W...
BCH (Bitcoin Cash) saw its chance to recover as the crypto market's capitalization still hasn't made that much recovery. After stalling for a few candles at or near its pre-FTX collapse price level, the Bitcoin hard fork continued its descent.
CoinGecko reports that Bitcoin Cash has greens on the weekly and biweekly timelines, but reds on the daily and monthly charts.
Here's a quick glance at BCH movement:
When dealing with BCH, caution is advised
There are conflicting signs coming from bitcoin cash
Bulls must keep an eye on the 50 Fib retracement line
This may indicate that trading BCH in the long term is not a good idea. At least, not yet.
The Bitcoin Correlation
As was said, the correlation between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash was exceptionally high during the aforementioned market correction. Its pullback showed considerable significance as it fluctuated in the 0.90s.
It's possible that BCH will experience more losses in the near and medium term as it breaches the rising triangle pattern.
When this was written, the coin's value was trading at around the 50 percent Fibonacci retracement level. There are additional breaks in the lower part of the regression channel. It suggests the downward trend could be more pronounced than initially thought.
Chart: TradingView
Volatility is reflected in the Bollinger band's expansion, but it's also providing dynamic resistance. As the band widens, the orange middle band, currently at $112.7, acts as a downward pressure on the price.

|  | Saint Kitts and Nevis to Make Bitcoin Cash Legal Tender in 2023
The island country located in the Caribbean region - Saint Kitts and Nevis - plans to turn Bitcoin Cash (BCH) into an official payment method inside its borders by March next year.
The announcement positively affected the asset's price, which jumped above $100.
The Prime Minister of Saint Kitts and Nevis - Terrance Micheal Drew - disclosed that the government is willing to engage with Bitcoin Cash mining and make the asset legal tender on local soil by March 2023.
The leader opined that the cryptocurrency represents 'future opportunities' and said the initiative will go live once regulators guarantee consumers will have maximum protection.
The Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis just announced that #BitcoinCash will become legal tender in his country by March 2023. A big step for BCH as no nation can outlaw the currencies of other nations. Mass utilization with amazing new apps is next. pic.twitter.com/WjnaZxGv50
— Kim Dotcom (@KimDotcom) November 13, 2022
BCH jumped to around $103 immediately following the speech and still trades above $100. Still, this is far away from the 2021 price levels when it surpassed $1,500. The all-time high occurred in 2017 when it traded at over $4,300.
Bitcoin is the only digital asset that currently serves as legal tender. The first country to embrace it was El Salvador in 2021.
The Central African Republic followed suit this year. The President of the nation - Faustin-Archange Touadéra - argued that 'bitcoin's 'disruptive ...
|  | Bitcoin Cash On Downward Motion Since Breaching $105 Level – Here'...
There has been significant sideways fluctuation in the price of bitcoin recently, and it is currently trading in the $16,541 area. However, Bitcoin Cash, a spinoff of BTC, has seen its value drop after passing through the $105 threshold.
BCH may need BTC for a rally, as there is a strong market correlation between the two.
At the time of writing, the token was trading at $102.21, which is far lower than the $126 price range that swiftly rejected any potential bull run. The current market environment is further adding to the unfavorable mood towards BCH.
Image: TradingView
What Bitcoin Cash Metrics Show
BCH's price has been steadily decreasing since it was rejected at $165 earlier this year. However, as was previously mentioned, BCH is highly correlated with BTC, which is experiencing strong sideways motion at the present time.
The BCH price may be affected by factors other than correlation. According to CoinGlass, long traders are still active despite the current bearish market sentiment.
As long as investors continue to cling onto Bitcoin Cash, the currency will continue to go sideways.
In addition, position liquidation is rather minimal, coming in at $242,400. In spite of this, the data shows that the vast majority of liquidations are long positions, suggesting that long traders are selling their BCH at a loss.
However, the presence of long traders indicates that the market sentiment is negative but relatively optimistic in the long run. Nonetheless, if the price fal...

Bitcoin cash rose to a one-week high in today's session, despite crypto markets mostly trading lower. The global cryptocurrency market cap is down by 2.45% as of writing, which comes as traders reacted to rising geopolitical tensions. Polkadot was a notable token to slip, as prices collided with a key support point.Bitcoin Cash (BCH)

The move saw BCH hit its highest point since November 8, when the token was trading close to a high of $120.00.
As can be seen from the chart above, today's high saw bitcoin cash move closer to a key resistance level of $110.00.

St. Kitts and Nevis will explore the possibility of making bitcoin cash legal tender by March 2023. The statement was made by St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Terrance Drew as part of the Bitcoin Cash 2022 Conference held in the country, declaring that Bitcoin Cash mining activities will also be explored in the same way.
Bitcoin Cash Could Become Legal Tender in St. Kitts and Nevis Next Year
The Government of St. Kitts and Nevis will be exploring the possibility of declaring bitcoin cash legal tender as part of the process of introducing cryptocurrencies into the economy of the country. The announcement was made by Prime Minister Terrance Drew, who participated in the Bitcoin Cash 2022 Conference on Nov. 12.
As part of his speech, Drew stated:
I welcome the opportunity to dialog further with a view to exploring opportunities for Bitcoin Cash mining and making bitcoin cash legal tender in St. Kitts and Nevis by March 2023 once the safeguards to our country and our people are guaranteed.
Drew explained that his country was aware of the possible advantages that adopting a cryptocurrency as a legal tender would bring, stating that many businesses on the island already accept bitcoin cash as a payment method. However, he was clear that this move could only be made after considering all the important aspects of such an endeavor, and complying with due diligence.
The move would follow in the steps of countries like El Salvador, which declared Bitcoin legal tender in June...
|  | Bitcoin Cash Price: Investors Must Avoid These Levels To Prevent Losses
Investors, who are keeping a close eye on Bitcoin Cash and want to avoid losses, should steer clear of these crucial price points.
As of this writing, Bitcoin is still showing a little bit of bullishness, despite losing a few digits from its price. BTC retreated below the $20K mark, and now trades at $19,998, according to data from Coingecko.
Short-term support for the bears came from rejection wicks at the $20.5k level. Even Bitcoin Cash, the fork of BTC, isn't immune to this issue.
BCH is in such a jam, despite Bitcoin losing the $20k psychological support.
There have been recent reports regarding a number of developments with potentially profound implications for BCH. This report indicates that Bitcoin Cash's transaction volume has been below the average of 27,734 daily transactions.
Lower transaction volumes are a negative indicator to both potential and existing investors for BCH, thus this could be an issue.
Bitcoin Cash: Formidable Wall For The Bulls
Bitcoin Cash's value fell 35.50% between the July 29 rally and the September 19 low, before rebounding 17.40%. After that time, however, Bitcoin Cash's price remains stable.
These days, you can buy Bitcoin Cash for as little as $96.559 and as much as $166.025. Furthermore, BCH has a support level at $112.246 and a resistance level at $125,912.
Although CCI and Stoch RSI readings are optimistic, the stated resistance level remains a formidable obstacle for BCH bulls to overcome.
Even though the Chaikin money flow inde...

One protocol called Anyhedge just released the protocol's alpha version, which allows users to create smart contracts onchain. Furthermore, the team behind Anyhedge, General Protocols, recently summarized the Anyhedge Extension, which was made possible after the new ruleset changes were applied to the BCH network last May.
This month, General Protocols has plans to launch a dapp called BCH Bull, an application that allows people to long BCH against a number of tradeable assets. BCH Bull is a permissionless and noncustodial dapp built on the BCH chain.

The decline sees bitcoin cash plunge below its long-term floor of $112.00, hitting its lowest point since July 18 in the process.

|  | Bitcoin Remains At $21K But Bitcoin Cash Surges By 7%
The largest digital currency in the world, Bitcoin, is still fluctuating below the $22K price mark. Meanwhile, its daughter token, BCH, has recently gained some green bars, surging by 7%.
BCH is the hard fork of Bitcoin. Its development is structurally and technically in line with those of Bitcoin. However, there's just one notable difference between these two digital tokens, which is Block Size.
Segregated option was not the best answer to the scalability problem of BTC. They observed a loophole in implementing SegWit to tackle the issue with Bitcoin. This became the dawn of Bitcoin Cash.
The transaction mechanism of the cryptocurrency places about 8MB of data on every created block. Moreover, on average, around 116 transactions are carried out every second on the system. This is enough transaction speed for BCH.
However, more processing capacity is needed to create a larger block size. Such block sizes are necessary to support the network through its nodes. But regardless of this, the token has been gaining some heights since its creation in August 2017.
Bitcoin Struggles To Claim $22K Price Mark
There has been no relevant up or down trend for Bitcoin lately. It's currently going around the $21K mark. Also, several other digital currencies are facing the same difficulty, but there's an exception to this being BCH.
Last week's bearish turn of the crypto market has affected most of the altcoins, and Bitcoin is no exception. Since then, it has been a struggle for the digital ...
|  | Bitcoin Cash Soars 7%, Bitcoin Stalls at $21K (Market Watch)
Bitcoin continues to fail to produce any significant price movements in either direction and has remained stuck around the $21,000 level.
The alternative coins are also untypically stable on a daily scale, with Bitcoin Cash emerging as one of the few exceptions.
Bitcoin Stalls at $21K
Last week's extreme volatility, which pushed bitcoin south by over $4,000 in a matter of days, has not been replicated this week, at least for now.
The last substantial price movement came during the weekend when BTC plummeted to a three-week low of $20,800 (on Bitstamp).
It reacted well to this dip and quickly reclaimed the $21,000 level. Since then, the asset has remained relatively still around that line with a few minor price pumps and dumps that were halted immediately. As of now, it stands at just over $21,000, and its market cap is still above $400 billion.

From the chart, the price of BCH saw a weekly low of $112, which bounced from that area and rallied to a price of $130 after showing great recovery signs in recent weeks.
BCH’s weekly candle closed with bearish sentiment, with the new week's candle looking bullish, showing signs of strength after rejection from $135.
The price has struggled to gain traction as it attempts to hold key support.
If the price of BCH on the weekly chart maintains this structure, it could quickly return to $135 and form support above this range. To avoid falling below, the price of BCH must break and hold this support zone.

On a day where bitcoin broke out of its $20,000 support point, BCH bounced on its own floor, climbing higher on Saturday. BCH was up by nearly 7% to start the weekend, whilst MATIC fell to its lowest point since last April.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
Despite yet another red wave in crypto markets on Saturday, BCH was able to evade this, and instead rose by almost 10%.
BCH/USD hit an intraday peak of $123.31 earlier in the day, which came less than a day after falling to a low of $109.11.
Friday's bottom was the lowest level BCH has traded at since February 2019, and came as prices fell below the recent support at $110.
However, following this three-year low, bulls made a concerted effort to lift prices away from this point.
As of writing, earlier gains have somewhat eased, with bitcoin cash trading around $5 lower than today's previous peak.
Overall, prices are down nearly 30% from the same point last week.
Polygon (MATIC)
Whilst BCH moved away from a multi-year low, MATIC moved towards one, as prices slipped to start the weekend.
On Saturday, MATIC/USD fell to a low of $0.3631, which is nearly 10% lower than yesterday's high of $0.406.
Today's decline saw MATIC hit its lowest level in 15 months, following a rough three months which saw prices drop from $1.37.
Despite this intense sell-off, MATIC continues to remain in the cryptocurrency top 20, however should this level of declines persist, it may face challenges to remain there.

Bitcoin Cash is preparing to include two significant improvements in its upcoming upgrade. Programmed to happen on May 15, the Bitcoin Cash Improvement Proposals (CHIPs) approved to be included are CHIP-2021-03, which brings bigger script integers to the chain, and CHIP-2021-02, which has to do with the activation of native introspection opcodes, directed to simplify the writing of smart contracts called covenants.
Bitcoin Cash Prepares Contract Focused Upgrade
A new upgrade is on the horizon in the new one-year Bitcoin Cash upgrade schedule, modified from its previous six-month cycle during last year's upgrade. This time, the improvements to be included in the Bitcoin Cash blockchain were decided using CHIPs, Bitcoin Cash Improvement Proposals, that allow for public discussion of the community on the proposed upgrades. This new MO was also approved during last year's upgrade, which happened on May 15th, 2021.
The improvements this year are directed to improve performance and ease the way of programmers into writing covenants, which are smart contracts that enact rules on how funds can be used in a transaction. The two CHIPS included in this upgrade aim to allow covenants to be more precise and more useful, extending their functionality.
CHIPs Explained
The first CHIP to be applied in BCH's upgrade is CHIP-2021-03, which introduces bigger script integers to the chain. The specification states that bigger, 64-bit integers will be allowed, and these integers will be able to be...
|  | Wikipedia Stops Accepting BTC, ETH, BCH Donations After 8 Years
After a 3-month long debate among its community members, Wikimedia Foundation (WMF), the no-profit organization behind the online encyclopedia Wikipedia, has decided to stop accepting cryptocurrency donations. Before this decision, WMF used to accept contributions in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Bitcoin Cash.
A Wikimedia editor, Molly White, began a discussion in the Wikimedia community to reconsider its decision to accept cryptocurrency as a means of donation. This led to an online discussion among members from 10 January 2022 to 12 April 2022. Finally, voting was conducted where a majority of the community participants favored White’s proposal.
The arguments put forth against crypto donations included environmental unsustainability and damage to Wikimedia’s reputation as accepting the donations meant endorsing whatever digital assets stand for.
About 400 community members participated in the debate, and new and unregistered ones were excluded from the voting. The Wikimedia community voted for the discontinuation of crypto donations by 232 to 94, or 71.17%. Subsequently, they requested Wikipedia’s parent organization to discontinue cryptocurrency donations.
Wikimedia Discontinues Crypto Donations
On May 1, Molly White broke the news on Twitter that Wikimedia has accepted the community’s request and stopped accepting crypto donations.

|  | Bitcoin Reclaims $40K: Bitcoin Cash Skyrockets 13% (Market Watch)
Following several consecutive days of price falls, bitcoin reversed its trajectory and added a few thousand dollars. Most altcoins are also slightly in the green. Bitcoin Cash leads the way with a massive double-digit price surge.
Bitcoin Taps $41K
It's safe to say that the past week or so didn't go all that well for the primary cryptocurrency. It took a few swings at $47,000 at the start of the month, but the inability to decisively reclaim that level meant trouble.
The bears gained control over the market and pushed BTC south. Thus, the asset firstly fell to $45,000 before it dumped to $43,000. The landscape worsened in the past few days as bitcoin slipped below $40,000 for the first time in about a month.
Yesterday was a rather calm trading day, with BTC changing hands around $40,000 for most of it. However, the bulls reminded of their presence and drove bitcoin north hours ago. As a result, bitcoin spiked to its current level - just over $41,000.
Nevertheless, being more than 5% down weekly means that BTC's market cap is still well below $800 billion.

BCH Leads the Altcoin Recovery
The alternative coins went through similar corrections lately. Now, though, most of the market shows the first signs of recovery.
Ethereum dropped below $3,000 for the first time in weeks two days ago but reacted well at that point and now stands above $3,100. Binance Coin dipped beneath $400 but now trades north of $420.

|  | Biggest Movers: WAVES Falls to 1-Month Low, BCH Over 10% Higher on Wedne...
WAVES fell to a one-month low during Wednesday's trading session, as prices dropped for a second consecutive session. This came as BCH rallied by over 10% on hump-day, hitting a five-day high in the process. Overall, the crypto market cap is 1.17% higher as of writing.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
As crypto prices slowly began to rise on Wednesday, BCH was easily one of the day's biggest gainers.
Following a low of $295.20 on Tuesday, BCH/USD rose to an intraday high of $332.87 during today's session.
This is the highest level BCH has traded at within the last week, and comes despite its value trading over 4% lower within the same period.
Recent momentum in the market has seen prices decline, with BCH trading lower for the last seven out of ten sessions.
However, following two consecutive days of gains, BCH is now trading at resistance of $335, with the RSI also hovering below its own ceiling.
This level would be the 50.4 point, which has historically been an area of uncertainty, and birthed several bearish runs.
Despite this, bulls could be looking to breach this ceiling, and target the $360 area.
WAVES
WAVES fell by as much as 11% during today's session, however losses somewhat eased as bulls returned to crypto markets this afternoon.
Following a run which has seen it drop for ten of the last twelve sessions, WAVES has now fallen to its lowest level since March.
As of writing, WAVES/USD hit an intraday low of $20.48, which is its lowest point since March 7, and comes as its recen...
|  | Biggest Movers: BCH up 30% in the Last Week, ADA, HNT Higher on Tuesday&...
BCH has been one of the biggest gainers in the last week, and that momentum continued during Tuesday's session. As of writing this, ADA and HNT were also trading by over 10% higher, as bullish pressure remained within crypto markets.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
BCH was undoubtedly one of the biggest gainers on Tuesday, as it rose for its fourth session in the last five days.
Following a low of $320.29 on Monday, BCH/USD climbed to an intraday high above $375 on Tuesday.
Today's move came as prices surged past the recent resistance level of $334, and rose to their highest level since January 18.
As a result of today's rally, BCH is now trading over 30% higher in the last seven days, with today's value climbing by 13.55%, as of writing.
Looking at the chart, the 14-day RSI is now tracking at 72.19, which is easily the most price strength it has hit since last August.
Logically, many will now be anticipating a reversal, however, with the 10-day and 25-day moving averages only just crossing, there could still be further gains.
Helium (HNT)
Although ADA rose by almost 10% earlier in today's session, it somewhat fell off from those highs, giving way to other big movers on Tuesday.
One of these was HNT, which remained over 10% higher for the majority of today's action, climbing to an intraday high of $24.51 in the process.
This follows on from yesterday's low of $21.26, which came after a selloff at the resistance level of $24.85.
As of writing this, HNT is now slightly over this ceilin...

|  | Ethereum Co-Founder Vitalik Buterin Talks Argentina, BCH, Stablecoins, S...
Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, the second-biggest cryptocurrency by market cap, has reacted to some of his earlier beliefs in a new year's tweetstorm. The developer touched on some subjects including the rise of cryptocurrency in Argentina and how stablecoins are thriving in the country, how ethereum scaling is still a pressing concern for him, and the performance of bitcoin cash.
Vitalik Buterin Reflects on Earlier Takes
Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, touched on some of his earlier opinions about some subjects and how these fare against the current state of affairs of the crypto landscape in a new year's tweetstorm. Buterin started by remembering an article that talked about how bitcoin could help Argentinians and Iranians back in 2019, where he concluded this was due to its uncensorable and international character instead of due to its scarcity that this could happen.
Buterin's vision on this was 'generally correct', according to its views. On this, he stated:
My verdict: generally correct. Cryptocurrency adoption is high but stablecoin adoption is really high too; lots of businesses operate in USDT. Though of course, if USD itself starts showing more problems this could change.
The stablecoin sector has grown significantly this year, with Tether, the biggest stablecoin project, reaching a market cap of $78 billion. Decentralized alternatives like UST, the main stablecoin of the Terra environment, also thrived...
