$data is array of Object, so you cannot get data like that. Try this code:

$url = "https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/ticker/bitcoin-cash/";
$dataRaw = file_get_contents($url);
$data = json_decode($dataRaw);
$coin = $data[0];
foreach ($data as $key => &$value) {
    $value = (array)$value;//convert Object to array
    echo $value['price_usd'];
}
