Bitcoin Cash showing performance trends Bitcoin Cash retreats from its eight-month peak amid rising whale activities.

Despite the impressive gains, on-chain metrics indicate diminishing usage, with daily active wallet addresses for BCH falling to six-year lows. This situation implies that the recent surge is largely driven by speculative interest rather than enhanced user engagement.

Moreover, open interest in BCH derivatives has climbed 27.4% in the last week, reaching $578 million, with analysts closely monitoring the support levels between $478 and $508.

On July 4, IntoTheBlock reported an astounding 122.45% rise in transactions over $100,000, totaling 957,440 BCH worth approximately $482 million. This jump in transactions signals potential future price movements, reminiscent of spikes seen earlier in the year that heralded significant price shifts.

Additionally, a notable transaction on July 5 involved 10,000 BCH, valued at around $5 million, which drew attention ahead of a historic movement of 80,000 BTC worth over $8.5 billion.
