Bitcoin Cash rises 0.24% to $577.70

Highlights

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) trades at $577.70, up 0.24%, straddling its MA-20 ($574.82) and MA-50 ($579.20), with mixed short-term momentum.
Grayscale's effort to convert its BCH trust into an ETF and the 2025 'Velma' upgrade boosting smart contract capabilities draw new institutional interest to BCH.
BCH is expected to remain between $557.50 and $624.00, as technical indicators suggest a sideways trend with potential for price appreciation above $591.25.

DeFi potential grows as Velma upgrade and ETF hopes drive sentiment

Recent developments have centered around BCH’s 2025 'Velma' upgrade, which strengthened its smart contract functionality and may open new opportunities in DeFi. Additionally, institutional interest is building as Grayscale seeks to convert its BCH trust into an ETF, which could pave the way for increased capital inflows and price resilience despite ongoing market volatility. No major news events were published specifically on October 9, 2025, relating to headline corporate actions or impactful macroeconomic drivers tied directly to BCH.

Resistance zones and weak momentum as technical signals diverge

Technically, BCH faces dynamic resistance near $591.25 from the Ichimoku indicator, with the MA-50 at $579.20 acting as a key barrier. The daily MACD shows strong selling, while ADX is neutral, indicating weak trend strength. RSI at 66.93 suggests mild buying but does not signal overbought conditions. Other momentum indicators such as Stoch RSI, CCI, and BBP remain neutral, while oscillators and trend tools present divergent signals, with intraday price action staying near the middle of today’s $576.10–$583.70 range and reflecting moderate volatility and a sideways tone.

Sideways trend favored while probability of breakout remains high

For the coming week, BCH is expected to trade between $557.50 and $624.00, with a greater than 80% probability of price appreciation based on the alignment of weekly RSI, MACD, ADX, and MA-50. The most likely scenario is sideways movement within the current price corridor. A breakout above $591.25 could drive a test of the upper range around $624.00, while a move below $574.82 would expose support near $557.50.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees Bitcoin Cash as fundamentally well-supported, especially given recent technological enhancements and clear signs of growing institutional interest — notably Grayscale’s ETF application. Karapetjanc believes these macro and sentiment factors can offset technical headwinds, supporting a confident, moderately bullish outlook in the near term. He notes that while price may consolidate within a well-defined range, the risk-reward remains attractive with any breakout above $591.25 likely to accelerate gains. "Building institutional sentiment and upcoming ecosystem upgrades make BCH one of the more promising major altcoins for disciplined, risk-adjusted positioning this week."

Previously, it was noted that cautious trading rose with increased volume and waning liquidity, as sellers remained in control of market flow. Last time we reported that momentum indicators display broad oversold readings while downside risks persisted.
