ETC/USD: The technical picture
On the daily chart, ETC/USD is trying to dent a strong resistance area created by a combination of SMA100 and SMA200 on approach to $6.60. Once this barrier is cleared, the upside momentum may be extended to a psychological $7.00. A sustainable move above this area will improve the near-term technical picture and allow for the upside to gain traction with the next focus on $7.40 (the upper line of the 4-hour Bollinger Band) and $8.30 (the recent recovery high hit on August 2).
On the downside, the initial support comes at Tuesday’s low of $6.38. This barrier coincides with the lower lines of the daily and 1-hour Bollinger Bands located. If the bears manage to push the price below this area, the sell-off may be extended to $6.00. However, the upward-looking RSI on the daily chart signals that the coin has a strong bullish potential and may be in for a new rally.
