Ethereum Classic price analysis
Ethereum Classic corrected higher at the beginning of the week due to the hype surrounding the listing on Coinbase Pro and Coinbase Prime. However, the widespread selloff in the market did not spare the digital asset. It plunged from trading highs above $20.00 only to find a support at $14.20. On Thursday, a slight recovery gave it a boost from the pits but the upside remained capped at $15.40 as indicated on the chart.
Fresh subtle declines continued on Friday morning (Asian trading hours) but the support at the 23.6% Fib level taken between the highs of $15.49 and lows $14.81 at $14.56 prevented further declines. The price bounced back up from the support but has been unable to clear the $15.00 resistance. At the time of press, the trend is highly bearish with the stochastic making advances south. Moreover, the short-term 50 SMA has crossed below the longer-term 100 SMA to show that the sellers are regaining control. The above 23.6% Fib level support has to hold but if it gives in ETC/USD is in danger of retesting $14.20 support and slide below $14.00. On the upside, the price must find support above $15.00 before it can comfortably attack $15.40 again.
