Disclaimer: The conclusions of the following analysis are foreseeable until the last week of June
Bitcoin Cash has been on a path to recovery since March. In fact, while most of the market fell on Black Thursday, BCH’s price had begun to fall well before that. While Bitcoin Cash has managed to go past the 12 March price point during the course of its recovery run, the relief was temporary and the coin, in line with its previous history, retraced.
At press time, Bitcoin Cash was being traded at $253 and had a market cap of $4.6 billion. Over the past 24 hours, BCH’s price saw it gain by 1.7 percent, having registered a trading volume of $1.7 billion.

However, if the unlikely bearish scenario were to transpire, BCH may move towards Target 2 – $233 over the same time frame.
