BCH/USD has spiked up from $167 to $257 over the last two days, charting a staggering 54% growth. Technical analysis shows that future growth is also expected.

Bitcoin Cash’s UTXO set size has reached its most significant level since 2017 which is historically an indicator of a bull run. Plus, the upcoming reward halving and hashrate increase have contributed to the rise in price as well.

As the entire crypto market enjoys tremendous gains following this Tuesday’s bull run, a special mention must be made for Bitcoin Cash. BCH/USD has grown by a staggering 58% over the last two days as its price has spiked up from $167 to $264. Apart from the overall bullish sentiment, several reasons have contributed to this outlandish boost in price:

As per Bitcoin.com, the BCH network’s unspent transaction output (UTXO) set size has grown to “levels not seen since 2017.” An increase in the size of UTXO has historically been a significant bullish indicator.

BCH is also marching towards block reward halving which is expected to be around April 8, 2020, at around 1 a.m. UTC.

Even though Bitcoin Cash hashrate dropped below one exahash per second following November’s blockchain split, since January 1, the BCH hashrate has gradually increased to 1.8 exahash.
