It is no surprise for Bitcoin Cash to perform this poorly when the entire crypto market fell deeper in the bear market due to various negative factors, including the much-publicized collapse of crypto exchange FTX. According to CoinGecko, the token is down a further 1.4% in the past 24 hours. This doesn’t bode well as major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have started 2023 very weakly as well.

However, with the broader financial market having its worst year since the 2008 crisis, we can set 2023 to be a slow but steady phase of loss and gradual gain in the next few months. In the short term, potential BCH investors and traders could hope that the current support at $96.18 will hold. But with potential downturns caused by further interest rate increases, we might see BCH bears test the $89.17 in the coming weeks.
