Ethereum Classic Price Resistance

There was a nice upside move in ETC price this past week above the $12.00 handle against the US Dollar. The price traded above the $12.20 level, but failed to break the $12.50 resistance. There were two attempts to surpass $12.50, but buyers failed to gain momentum. As a result, there was a downside move and the price broke the $12.40 support.

There was a clear break below a key bullish trend line with support at $12.20 on the hourly chart of ETC/USD. The pair also surpassed the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $11.50 low to $12.49 high and the 100 hourly simple moving average. It has opened the doors more losses and the pair traded below the $12.00 handle. There was even a break of the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $11.50 low to $12.49 high.

These are bearish signs and the pair now looks set to decline further. If the current momentum stays intact, there is a chance of a downside break towards the last swing low of $11.50. Selling rallies close to the $12.20-40 levels can be considered in the short term as long as there is no close above the 100 hourly SMA.

Hourly MACD – The MACD is now in the bearish zone.

Hourly RSI – The RSI has reached the oversold levels.

Major Support Level – $11.50
