Why is Bitcoin Cash (BCH) showing strength during a broader bear market?

[chainsniff]

Bitcoin Cash has been relatively bullish during this bear phase because it is benefiting from defensive positioning within crypto. When speculative appetite fades, traders often rotate into assets with clearer utility narratives — and BCH’s focus on fast, low-cost payments fits that profile.

Additionally, BCH has a smaller derivatives footprint compared to high-beta altcoins, meaning less forced selling during liquidations. Lower leverage reduces volatility on the downside, allowing price to stabilize or even trend upward while more speculative assets struggle.
