The sharp recovery from the Feb. 6 low of $764 is pretty much in line with the uptick seen in the broader markets in the last 10 days. That said, BCH has outperformed other crypto market leaders over that period, except for litecoin, which is up close to 110 percent from Feb. 6 lows.
The rally is backed by good news on the fundamentals front. For instance, decentralized marketplace OpenBazaar and crypto payments firm BitPay have both added support for BCH in recent weeks.
That said, BCH bulls need to overcome a couple of critical resistance levels before claiming victory over the bears.

- A daily close (as per UTC) above $1,756 would signal an upside break of the falling channel, adding credence to inverse head-and-shoulders breakout (seen in the 4-hour chart), and could yield a sustained rally to $2,000.
- The bullish daily RSI and 5-day MA, 10-day MA indicate BCH will likely rise above resistance at $1,533 (head-and-shoulders neckline) and move towards $1,756 over the next few days.
- However, if BCH fails to take out $1,533 and closes (as per UTC) below $1,100, then the outlook would turn bearish.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
