    Ethereum Classic Price Upside Hurdle

    There was a minor dip in ETC price recently towards the $11.30 level against the US Dollar. However, the downside move was prevented by the $11.20-10 support area and the price recovered. The price moved above the $12.30 level, but failed to break the $12.50 resistance. There were many attempts to break $12.50, but buyers failed to gain momentum. It declined and traded below the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $11.10 low to $12.78 high.

    The downside move was protected by a key bullish trend line with support at $11.80 on the hourly chart of the ETC/USD pair. Moreover, the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $11.10 low to $12.78 high also acted as a support. At the moment, the 100 hourly simple moving average is holding losses and pushing the pair above $12.00.

    It would need a proper break and close above $12.50 for further gains in ETC. On the flip side, a break of the trend line support at $11.80 could ignite a downside reaction towards $11.20. Overall, there can be more ranging moves above $11.80 before the pair attempts a break above $12.50.

    Hourly MACD – The MACD is showing positive signs in the bullish zone.

    Hourly RSI – The RSI is currently just above the 50 level and heading north.

    Major Support Level – $11.80

    Major Resistance Level – $12.50
