Bitcoin Cash (BCH) price surged by 31.42% in the last 24 hours to $385.17 at 12:04 PM ET on Wednesday. It is one of the top biggest gainers in the crypto market today, with a 91% rise in trading volume to $970.5 million. The market cap also rose 31.43% to hit $7.64 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.

What Happened: The overall crypto market just recovered from a recent sell-off where it spent the month of February in the red. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) both saw a 5% pump today, which means investors are starting to feel confident again. But Bitcoin Cash has outpaced them, making it a top performer.

Analysts say the pump is because the price broke out of a falling wedge pattern, a chart formation that usually signals a trend reversal. The move also pushed BCH above its 50-day moving average, which is seen as a positive sign for further gains.

“If the momentum continues, BCH could target its next major resistance at the 200-day moving average (200MA), which is currently located at around $440,” the analysts stated.

Furthermore, the MACD indicator also suggests that the buying pressure is increasing. This means more traders are jumping in, betting that BCH will keep climbing.

The crypto market’s recovery might be influenced by U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s statement that President Donald Trump could ease 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico. Investors took this as a bullish sign, shifting money from safer assets to riskier ones.

Despite the rally, Bitcoin ETFs saw large withdrawals for a fourth day. According to data from Farside Investor, investors pulled out $143 million from Bitcoin ETFs on Tuesday, adding to the $217 million withdrawn earlier in the week. But this hasn’t stopped BTC and altcoins from rising.

What Next: Bitcoin Cash is a hard fork of Bitcoin that occurred in August 2017. Bitcoin Cash is focused on increasing the block size of Bitcoin to handle more transactions and lower fees.

It is one of the most popular cryptocurrencies, and it is used by millions of people around the world for a variety of purposes, such as sending and receiving payments, investing in cryptocurrencies, and trading cryptocurrencies.
