Bitcoin Cash (BCH) price consolidated above $602 on Sunday, September 7, posting 10% gains on the weekly range and emerging as the best-performing top 20 cryptocurrency, according to CoinMarketCap data.

Ethereum faced selling pressure after reports that a new Nasdaq ruling tightened restrictions on corporate fundraising for cryptocurrency purchases. This dampened sentiment around institutional ETH ETF inflows, and strategic reserve accumulations last week, weighing on trading volumes, which dipped at 4.4% in the past week, corresponding with the ETH price decline.
Despite maintaining a $517 billion market cap, ETH’s failure to build momentum has left it lagging peers like Solana and XRP on the weekly time range.
Chainlink’s decline follows profit-taking after last week’s surge, which was fueled by US government macroeconomic data being relayed via Chainlink’s oracle infrastructure, in partnership with Pyth Network.
The initial rally drove LINK price to multi-month peaks above $25, but as the catalyst faded, traders locked in gains over the past week, driving prices down 6% to hit $22.2 on reduced daily volume of $509 million.
Bitcoin Cash’ double-digit rally, amid active market dips in large markets like ETH and LINK highlight how fading catalysts and regulatory signals are driving short-term market rotation as broader crypto sentiment remains cautiously bullish.
Maxi Doge Presale Gains Momentum as Bitcoin Cash Outperforms
With Bitcoin Cash emerging as the week’s strongest top-20 performer, investors are also looking toward speculative projects like Maxi Doge (MAXIDOGE). The newly launched meme-drive token is gaining traction as traders explore high-risk, high-reward community-driven utilities with no stop-losses.
Currently priced at $0.00025, the Maxi Doge presale has already raised more than $1.9 million of its $2.2 million target. Prospective participants can still secure MAXIDOGE tokens through the official Maxi Doge site before the presale moves into its next stage.
