Over the last 12 months XRP returned -48.26% and BCH -44.97%. Over just the last month the picture is the same: XRP +9.56%, BCH +26.83%. Short periods can tell a very different story from long ones, which is why picking a coin from last month's chart rarely works.
XRP moves about ±1.8% on a typical day against ±1.7% for Bitcoin Cash. In the past year XRP fell as much as 67% from a peak and BCH 71%. 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 0.62 (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.
XRP is the bigger network, with a market cap about 15× that of Bitcoin Cash. 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 (XRP: capped at 100.00B; BCH: capped at 21.00M).
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 XRP · how to buy Bitcoin Cash · 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 0.62, they often move in the same direction, but not always, so holding both spreads less risk than it might seem.
