BCH rises 12.69% to USD $248.97 as Grayscale’s ETF momentum remains intact
Bitcoin Cash $BCH surprises the market with a 12.69% jump to USD $248.97 in the Sept. 18, 2026 session, amplifying the rebound that began after the Grayscale ETF presentation. With volume above the 30-day average and the price crossing its short-term moving averages, the asset is positioned against the key resistance at USD $250.41.
According to filings submitted to the SEC (an amended S-3 declaration dated Sept. 11 that would rename the Grayscale Bitcoin Cash Trust as a spot ETF listed on NYSE Arca under the BCHG ticker), the market is pricing the expectation ahead of any approval.
Bitcoin Cash retains its original thesis as a peer-to-peer payment method with larger blocks and low fees, though its relative adoption versus BTC has eroded the narrative over the years. With a market cap of USD $5.0 B and daily volume of USD $0.2676 B, the volume-to-market-cap ratio of 5.35% is healthy for an asset of its size, indicating sufficient liquidity for moderate institutional entries and exits without excessive slippage.
Using a signal-counting methodology across 5 indicators: the RSI at 55.8 (neutral-bullish), the price above short-term SMAs (bullish), relative volume up 21.73% above the average (bullish), intraday VWAP surpassed (bullish), and bearish MACD (contrary). The balance is 4 out of 5 signals in favor of the buying bias.
Short term: buy $BCH on pullbacks to USD $240.5 – USD $243 with a stop-loss below USD $233 and take-profit at USD $255.64.
The BCH rally is confirmed by an identified catalyst (Grayscale ETF), supported by above-average volume and an improved technical structure, although the larger trend remains bearish versus the SMA-200 at USD $319.96.
