April

Bitcoin Cash Open Interest and its price have fallen precipitously since its halving, wiping out any temporary boost in momentum before the April 4 event. 
Data from CoinGlass <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/BitcoinOpenInterest" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-wpel-link="external">shows</a> that as of April 12, the OI for Bitcoin Cash is $378.3 million, a staggering 47% lower than its peak of $708.5 million before the BCH halving. 
The price of BCH dropped by 13% in tandem with the decrease in OI. According to CoinMarketCap <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-cash/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-wpel-link="external">data</a>, the majority of its price decline happened on April 10, when it saw a sharp drop of 7.51% within a three-out window following days of tight fluctuation between $676 and $691.

The week following its initial halving event in 2000, the behavior completely changed. At the time, OI increased 10% to $73.86 million, while Bitcoin Cash saw an increase of 4.7%. 
Bitcoin Cash, which was just under three years old at the time, has seen debates over its use cases due to its lower transaction processing costs and reduced energy requirements for verifying new blocks. 
Blockstream CEO Adam Back <a href="https://twitter.com/adam3us/status/1769679468270895135" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-wpel-link="external">urged</a> in an X post on March 18, an early adopter of Bitcoin, Roger Ver, to return to the community after he moved on to the Bitcoin Cash community a few years ago. 
Roger Ver, commonly known as “Bitcoin Jesus,” is a strong advocate for Bitcoin Cash, claiming it aligns more closely with Satoshi Nakamoto’s original vision for Bitcoin. 
Many investors are jumping into Bitcoin positions, hoping for a surge as <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/bitcoin-halving-countdown-2024/" data-wpel-link="internal">Bitcoin halving</a> will happen in the upcoming week.&nbsp;
