BCH / ZEC ratio and spread
1 BCH = 0.2213731 ZEC. Below is the price ratio chart and the regression spread z-score. Hedge ratio β is 0.181 and the correlation between the legs is 0.60.
If you hold BCH · If you hold ZEC
BCH is cheaper against ZEC than in 1 % of the time over 6.9 years. If you hold ZEC, this is worth a look at rotating into BCH.

Key numbers
over 2527 daily candles
How each of these is computed: regression spread, hedge ratio, spread z-score, half-life, correlation.
What the numbers say
The legs move together only moderately — correlation of daily log returns is 0.60, with a hedge ratio of 0.18. Signals from this pair carry more noise than on a tightly linked one.
The spread is at 0.06 standard deviations from its rolling mean, which is effectively at its own norm.
Reversion is slow: the spread needs roughly 193 days to cover half the way back to its mean. A position would have to be held for a long time.
The current ratio sits near the bottom of its range — only 0% of the way from the low to the high of the last 2527 daily candles.
When this happened before
Divergences over 2348 candles: 13. Closed by a return to the norm: 13. The median return took 46 days, the longest one 329 days.
The last closed one ran from 09.04.2026 to 23.09.2026, 167 days: peak z = -3.96, ZEC was expensive against BCH.
For a holder this answers not “what to do” but “how long it usually took”: the median return is 46 days. That is no guarantee — past divergences closed, this one may not.
| Period | Expensive leg | Peak z | Return |
|---|---|---|---|
| 09.04.2026 — 23.09.2026 | ZEC | -3.96 | 167 d |
| 03.11.2025 — 19.12.2025 | ZEC | -2.56 | 46 d |
| 19.06.2025 — 25.09.2025 | BCH | 2.43 | 98 d |
| 06.04.2025 — 13.04.2025 | ZEC | -2.15 | 7 d |
| 03.12.2024 — 22.12.2024 | BCH | 2.74 | 19 d |
A divergence here is the spread z-score leaving ±2σ; the return is the first value back inside ±0.5σ. Two thresholds rather than one: otherwise chatter right at the border would count as a dozen separate divergences. The first bars of the window are skipped — there z is computed on partial history.
Frequently asked
How many ZEC is 1 BCH?
1 BCH is worth 0.221373 ZEC at the latest exchange quotes. The figure is the ratio of the two USDT prices and updates every minute.
What is the BCH/ZEC range?
Over the last 2527 daily candles the ratio traded between 0.159804 (18.09.2026) and 25.956 (05.04.2024).
Are BCH and ZEC correlated?
The correlation of daily log returns between BCH and ZEC is 0.60, which counts as a moderate link. Log returns are used rather than prices: two rising assets correlate almost by default, joint day-to-day movement is what matters.
What is the BCH/ZEC spread z-score now?
The z-score is 0.06 — the spread is within its usual range. It measures how far the regression residual log(A) − β·log(B) sits from its rolling mean, in standard deviations.
Is BCH/ZEC suitable for a pair trade?
The mechanics hold up: correlation is 0.60 and the spread historically covers half the way back to its mean in about 193 days. That is a description of past behaviour, not a forecast or a recommendation.
How often do BCH and ZEC diverge?
Over 2348 daily candles the spread left ±2σ 13 times. The median return to the norm took 46 days.
