Fork Drives New All-Time Price Lows for BCH

In the days leading up to the fork, BCH was trading within an approximately 6% range between $500 and $530.

In the days since the fork, BCH has predominantly traded within a 10% range of between $375 and $410. The aggressive sell-off has seen BCH lose over 35% of its value against the dollar in just 12 days, although this can be attributed to some of BCH’s value being assigned to the minority SV chain that forked off.
