On the other side, supporters of the proof of work mechanism could bolster Ethereum Classic’s chances going forward.
A section of the trader community anticipates a jump in ETH price around The Merge event. However, it is not certain as to whether the top two cryptocurrency would dip or rise around September 15. On the other side, Ethereum Classic enthusiasts anticipate a price rise thanks to the Merge. In fact, hope is around that ETC could multiply by three times the current value.

Over the last seven days, ETC price rose by around 15%, up from the range of $33. In this context, it is anticipated that the cryptocurrency could reach as high as $70. After The Merge, the possibility of ETC reaching $100 level is not ruled out, as per Crypto Revelation, an influencer Twitter handle.
“Ethereum Classic continues to show bullish signals when it breaks the $41 – $45 range it will be a straight shot to $70 in my opinion. I won’t even rule out a run up to $100+ leading up to or post Merge.”
