I do not think that Bitcoin Cash will rise in the short term and its further retention will bring significant profit. This altcoyin, separated from bitcoin on August 1, does not have enough strong support from the community and even miners. Many have long ago dropped this coin in favor of bitcoin, which is a good solution.
But it has strong support from one of the miners that matter in the cryptospace. Jihan Wu, the owner of the asic empire called Bitmain. Roger Ver also supports it, and a minority of the community who act like zealots follow him.
They have a growing propaganda machine in /r/btc which have a lot of bitcoin newbies who think they are in the correct bitcoin subreddit. So yes it will rise to 1k and beyond.
I don't think it can go 1k and beyond because they got incompetent devs that rip off core's code. If bitcoin cash can change that and write some original bug free code then this will be much more interesting.
I will keep half of my bitcoin cash incase they pump again because Core vs Jihan Wu and Roger Ver is far from over.
When did the competence of the developers and the uniqueness of a coin matter in the cryptospace? We have seen worse projects do a 1000x climb from rumors, fake news and market manipulation.
I reckon the same will happen with bitcoin cash. Those rich Chinese traders are the masters of the pump and dump. Do not underestimate them.
