Bitcoin Cash (BCH) trades at $206.01, down 12.5% over the past 30 days. Its market cap — supply times price — is $4.1B, the 22-largest in crypto. Over a year it is -66% (down), and it sits -95% from its all-time high. Total value locked on this chain is $7.3M — negligible against market cap, which simply means TVL is not what this asset is for. On tradability, the book is thin, so incoming money moves the price easily. Taken together, the overall heat score is 27 (COOL). A higher number means more of the conditions for a rally are in place — it is not a price forecast.

Overview What is Bitcoin Cash
Bitcoin Cash is a hard fork of Bitcoin with a protocol upgrade to fix on-chain capacity. Bitcoin Cash intends to be a Bitcoin without Segregated Witness (SegWit) as soft fork, where upgrades of the protocol are done mainly through hard forks and without changing the original economic rules of the Bitcoin.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is released on 1st August 2017 as an upgraded version of the original Bitcoin Core software. The main upgrade is the increase in the block size limit from 1MB to 8MB. This effectively allows miners on the BCH chain to process up to 8 times more payments per second in comparison to Bitcoin. This makes for faster, cheaper transactions and a much smoother user experience.
Why was Bitcoin Cash Created?
The main objective of Bitcoin Cash is to to bring back the essential qualities of money inherent in the original Bitcoin software. Over the years, these qualities were filtered out of Bitcoin Core and progress was stifled by various people, organizations, and companies involved in Bitcoin protocol development. The result is that Bitcoin Core is currently unusable as money due to increasingly high fees per transactions and transfer times taking hours to complete. This is all because of the 1MB limitation of Bitcoin Core’s block size, causing it unable to accommodate to large number of transactions.

Far below its all-time high
Trading -95% from its all-time high. Recovering that ground would take a substantial return of demand — and a discount this large usually has a reason worth checking.

Public repository is quiet
No public commits in the past four weeks (development may be happening in private). Worth confirming the project's continuity separately.

The chain is barely used
Recent chain fees run about $62 per day — a negligible amount. Fees stand in for real usage, and at this level there is effectively none.

Volume spikes BCH traded far above its own baseline
24-hour volume ran 2.2x its 20-day median. Historically the next day's range widens in this state — but which way it goes is not readable from this.

This asset can show a low heat score. Its volume and the score's liquidity factor read the same underlying quantity, so this is a property of the definition, not a judgement.

Supply Who controls the supply
Of the maximum supply of 21,000,000 BCH, 96% is on the market today. 96% has been issued so far; the remaining 4% is still to come from future issuance — that is future dilution waiting to happen.

Heat score Heat factor breakdown
27
Heat scoreCOOLOverall heat score
How the overall score is built: market gate 42 (applied to everything) × geometric mean of the four factors 65 (momentum, liquidity, fundamentals and supply, multiplied together) → 27. It is not a simple average: a weak market holds the whole score down, and a single weak factor drags the rest with it.
Factor breakdown (0–100; higher means more conditions are in place)
Regime (market gate)gate
42
→ The market gate is neutral. Asset-specific factors decide this one.
Momentum
35
→ The recent price trend is down. Going against it needs a reason.
Liquidity (traded volume depth)
100
→ Volume is deep enough that a move is one you could actually participate in.
Fundamentals (TVL / market cap)
50
→ TVL is unremarkable relative to market cap.
Supply lightness
100
→ Most of the supply already circulates, so unlock pressure is light.
Development activity → No public code updates in the last four weeks. Development may have stalled, or it may be happening in private repositories.
