AI summary: Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a proof-of-work Layer-1 cryptocurrency forked from Bitcoin in 2017, focused on peer-to-peer electronic cash, distinct from BTC, BSV, and eCash (XEC). The 32% surge to $299 was fueled by privacy-narrative catalysts (on-chain zk-SNARK verification, first shielded pool on chipnet), a broad altcoin rally (XRP +58%, BTC +22% weekly), Japan's Laser Digital license including BCH, and Grayscale BCHG promotion—with volume up 161% monthly confirming real participation. The pullback to $272 reflects profit-taking at the $300 psychological level after an RSI-divergence bot flagged lower momentum highs roughly an hour before the drop, leaving BCH consolidating in its $205-$290 range until a concrete upgrade timeline resolves governance uncertainty.
