BCH in plain facts
Updated 2026-11-14 (UTC) · Binance spot data
How BCH behaves versus Bitcoin
BCH has a beta of 1.09 against Bitcoin: largely moves in step with Bitcoin (~1.09×). In plain terms, on a day Bitcoin moves 1%, BCH has moved about 1.09% on average in the same direction. Beta describes past co-movement over the available daily history; it is not a forecast.
What BCH moves with
Over the last 90 days its daily moves tracked ADA (0.7) and XRP (0.65) most closely among the large coins we compare against. A correlation of 1.0 would mean they moved in lockstep; 0 would mean no relationship.
Where BCH sits in its own history
Today's price is higher than on 28% of the days in its last 5 years on Binance — in the lower-middle of its range.
How volatile BCH is
Its annualised volatility over the last 90 days is 105.2%, about 2.44× Bitcoin's over the same window. Today's move: a typical day (~1.1× normal).
BCH's worst drawdown
The deepest peak-to-trough fall in this window was -85.6%, bottoming on 2022-11-09. Context: November 2022 — FTX collapse, a confidence crisis. This number is free on Sightglass and always will be.
