Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
Bitcoin cash (BCH) made significant gains for a second straight session, this time rising by over 20% to end the week.
Following a low of $241.21 on Thursday, BCH/USD raced to an intraday high at $312.77 earlier in the day.

The 10-day (red) moving average has also made a relatively high leap away from its 25-day (blue) counterpart.
This could signal a potential top, which could be tempting for bears waiting for the perfect time to reenter the market.
