Few reasons why there’s more to Ethereum Classic’s near-term recovery
Disclaimer: The findings of the following analysis are the sole opinions of the writer and should not be considered investment advice.
Ethereum Classic (ETC) continued its plunge down the price charts until the $21-mark in late January. Since then, however, the bulls have initiated a gradual recovery.
With the intersection of the $25 horizontal support and its trendline support (white, dashed), ETC found a dependable floor. As the buyers continue to build up pressure, the alt might aim for a possible test of its 20 EMA (red) in the $26-$27 zone. At press time, ETC was trading at $26.35.

As a result, the 20 EMA continued to pose as a barrier for bulls while ETC fell in a down-channel (yellow).
The bulls are keen on defending its trendline support, as they have for the past seven weeks.
