Over the last 12 months BCH returned -44.97% and HBAR -45.80%. Over just the last month the picture is reversed: BCH +26.83%, HBAR +59.86%. Short periods can tell a very different story from long ones, which is why picking a coin from last month's chart rarely works.
Hedera moves about ±1.9% on a typical day against ±1.7% for Bitcoin Cash. In the past year BCH fell as much as 71% from a peak and HBAR 72%. Bigger swings mean bigger possible gains and bigger possible losses, size your position so a fall like that wouldn't force you to sell.
The correlation of their daily moves over the past year is 0.55 (1 = always together, 0 = unrelated): they often move in the same direction, but not always. That makes holding both a little less risky than holding either alone.
Bitcoin Cash is the bigger network, with a market cap about 1.2× that of Hedera. A lower price per coin doesn't make a coin “cheaper”: what matters is market cap, and how many new coins will still be created (BCH: capped at 21.00M; HBAR: capped at 50.00B).
Both trade on FIU-registered exchanges. Profit on either is taxed at 30% plus 4% cess, 1% TDS is deducted when you sell, and a loss on one can't be set off against a gain on the other. Guides: how to buy Bitcoin Cash · how to buy Hedera · best crypto apps in India.

We don't give buy or sell advice. The data shows how each has behaved, not what happens next. Many investors hold more than one coin rather than choosing; with a correlation of 0.55, they often move in the same direction, but not always, so holding both spreads less risk than it might seem.
