Based on the RSI scale a cryptocurrency is in a bullish state if it has a reading of at least 70. The more the reading advances towards 90 the greater the bullish momentum becomes. On the contrary, if the RSI reading is below 30 it shows that the market is bearish. Generally, a reading of between 30 and 70 shows price consolidation.

The fact that the RSI reading is within the overbought range does not mean it is going to retrace soon. The reason is that the asset may remain in the overbought market condition for a long time. In this case, it simply indicates that the BCH bullish outlook is continuing. It also signifies high <a href="/ru/price/bitcoin-cash-bch" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin Cash</a> investment interest.

## Bitcoin Cash price predictions for 2024/2025/2030
Basically, the recent BCH price surge was a result of the 4 April bitcoin cash halving. The key factor contributing to the BCH price pump was a reduction in the altcoin’s sell-off pressure since the miners were accumulating rather than disposing off their holdings.

However, most of the miners sold their BCH before 31 March. Presently, as the bullish momentum continues the next BCH price target is the $920 level which corresponds with the 61.80% Fibonacci retracement level. Coinpedia forecasts a very bullish 2024, 2025 and 2030. The following table summarizes its <a href="/ru/price-prediction" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">price prediction</a>.
