While a high-volume rally is said to be sustainable, gains are not backed by improvement in onchain fundamentals. According to CoinDesk's AI research, fundamentals for the Bitcoin Cash network recently hit six-year lows in daily active addresses. Per on-chain data, the network is experiencing a "critical demand deficit," suggesting the recent price action is driven more by speculation than actual network usage or adoption.
