No flexing for Bitcoin Cash users as BCH loses 98% against Bitcoin

Bitcoin (BTC) has hit new record highs this week — not in U.S. dollar terms, but against its longtime competitor, Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

CoinFLEX debacle ensnares BCH supporter Ver

Bitcoin Cash, also known as “Bcash” by those critical of the coin’s ethos and future, gained notoriety in 2017 when it became the first major hard fork of the Bitcoin network to take on BTC itself.

Months after launching, the altcoin hit highs of around 0.43 BTC per token, this proving something of a fakeout for investors who have spent the intervening period watching its value steadily decline.

Arguably the most vocal BCH supporter, entrepreneur Roger Ver, has nonetheless continued to tout its supremacy over Bitcoin, with price woes having little impact on his rhetoric.

Traders looks to $19,500 for support

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView followed BTC/USD as it crossed below the $20,000 mark for the first time in nearly a week in Asian trading hours.

The weakness followed rangebound behavior near $21,000, this characterizing a market still in tune with moves in global equities.

The S&P 500 had finished its previous session down 2%, while the Nasdaq Composite Index lost 3%. On the day, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was likewise 2.1% lower, while China’s Shanghai Composite Index traded down 1.4%.

With few bullish cues coming from macro, Bitcoin thus had little stopping it from revisiting the lower end of a range in place for several weeks.
