Ethereum Classic Price Support
There was a fresh start of an upside move in ETC price from the $9.50 low against the US Dollar. There was a nice upside move and the price moved above the $10.00 handle and the $10.50 resistance levels. During the upside, there was even a break above a bearish trend line with resistance at $10.30 on the hourly chart of the ETC/USD. It has opened the doors more gains and the pair recently traded as high as $10.99.
The pair is currently consolidating below the $11.00 handle trading in a range. An initial support is near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $9.55 low to $10.99 high. However, the most important support is near the broken resistance at $10.50. The 100 hourly simple moving average is positioned near $10.50 to act as a monster support. Moreover, the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $9.55 low to $10.99 high is at $10.45 to prevent declines.
On the upside, buyers need to clear the $11.00 handle to gain control. The next major upside hurdle is at $11.60 followed by $12.00. On the downside, the $10.50 and $10.40 levels are decent supports.
