Why did BCH go up 0.82% in 1 minute? Evidence check: Bitcoin Cash rises sharply in one-minute move · 2026-10-24
Bitcoin Cash rose in a sharp one-minute move on Gate's USDT pair, outpacing most other tracked coins, which moved the same way, and beating Bitcoin over the same window. Open interest on the OKX perpetual swap stayed flat with near-zero funding and no liquidations, and no report in the monitored feeds explains the move.
