Unlike volatile market leaders Bitcoin and Ethereum, the ETC/USDT pair  initiated an upright rally with a 21% long bullish candle piercing through wedge pattern resistance on March 11th. The following day, altcoin soared 10%, and the rally continued till the $44 mark. But, how far can buyers sustain this bullish momentum?

Key points:

  • A minor retracement is needed to stabilize the aggressive buying
  • The 20-and-50- EMA offers a positive crossover
  • The 24-hour trading volume in the Ethereum Classic coin is $2.3 Billion, indicating a 26.9% fall.

A falling wedge pattern carried the recent downtrend in the Ethereum Classic(ETC) price and marked a new lower at $21.25. However, the coin price rebounded from this support twice, indicating a strong accumulation zone for traders.

The price action squeezed between the resistance trendline and $23.2 support resulted in a decisive upside breakout on March 19th. The buyer maintained strong momentum and gathered a 55% gain in the last four days.

Today, the ETC price is up by 13% and retest the $44 monthly resistance. However, the altcoin is expected to provide a minor correction before it could continue the bull run. The technical chart suggests the $38.6 and $33.55 could act as strong pullback support.

Furthermore, a breakout and closing above the $44 mark should open the door $50 psychological level, followed by $60.

On the other hand, the fallout from the $33.5 support could sink the altcoin to $23.3 crucial support.
