BCH Price Forecast: Rising Wedge Breakout Targets $1,000

Bitcoin Cash Technical Price Forecast | October 3, 2025
Meanwhile, Price Volume Trend (PVT) data reveals a steady increase in capital inflows since mid-2024, validating the breakout as more than a recent short squeeze event.
In the bullish scenario, a sustained rally could see BCH price clear the $800 supply zone.
However, in a bearish scenario, failure to hold the $580 support zone could trigger a retest of $450. On the flip side, a breakdown below $450 would invalidate the wedge breakout signal.
