Over the last 12 months BCH returned -44.97% and LTC -34.72%. Over just the last month the picture is the same: BCH +26.83%, LTC +45.37%. Short periods can tell a very different story from long ones, which is why picking a coin from last month's chart rarely works.
Bitcoin Cash moves about ±1.7% on a typical day against ±1.6% for Litecoin. In the past year BCH fell as much as 71% from a peak and LTC 67%. 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 0.56 (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 1.1× that of Litecoin. 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; LTC: capped at 84.00M).
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 Litecoin · best crypto apps in India.
