The cryptocurrency market has seen a much-needed revival in recent weeks. After a brutal Q1 that saw Ethereum (ETH) fall by 45%, the second-largest crypto has now surged over 62% in the past month and is trading near $2,600 — its highest level in months. This renewed bullish sentiment is not just limited to ETH. It’s lifting altcoins across the board, including Bitcoin Cash (BCH).
BCH has gained over 24% in the last month, cutting its yearly losses to just 8%. While this alone is a sign of strength, technical analysis reveals something even more promising — a developing harmonic pattern that hints at further upside.

Harmonic Pattern Signals More Upside
The daily chart of BCH shows a Bearish Cypher Pattern in progress. Despite the “bearish” label, the pattern still has room to complete its structure to the upside before any major resistance sets in.
The pattern began in early December 2024, when BCH failed to hold the $639 level (marked as point X), triggering a sharp sell-off. The token dropped over 60%, bottoming out near $249 (point C) in early April 2025.

Since then, BCH has been staging a steady comeback and is now forming the CD leg of the Cypher. If the pattern continues to play out, BCH could climb toward point D, which is projected near $556 — a key Fibonacci resistance level. From the current price near $398, that suggests a potential 40% rally.
What’s Next for BCH?
The area near $556 is a critical zone to watch. This level corresponds to the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of the initial XA leg — a traditional reversal zone for Cypher patterns. If bulls manage to push BCH through this resistance, a full recovery toward $639 (point X) could be on the cards, offering a 59% upside from current levels.
However, failure to break this level could trigger some profit-taking or consolidation, typical of harmonic pattern completions.
Ultimately, whether BCH can maintain this momentum may hinge on broader market strength. Ethereum’s continued rally, for instance, could be a major catalyst for altcoins like BCH.
