Ethereum Classic (ETC), the original Ethereum hard fork, has recently experienced a massive spike in its price, rallying more than 50% amid the broader market excitement over Bitcoin ETF approvals and speculation about upcoming Ethereum ETFs.
The ETC price currently stands at $30.61, with the moving averages presenting a bullish outlook. The 20-day EMA at $29.30, 50-day EMA at $27.44, and the 100-day EMA at $25.08, all align to signal a strong uptrend. This arrangement typically indicates sustained bullish sentiment, suggesting that the ETC price may continue its upward trajectory in the short term.
The MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) is echoing the bullish sentiment, with today’s value at 1.28 compared to yesterday’s 0.71, indicating strengthening momentum.

The recent price action of ETC saw it successfully retesting the golden FIB levels at $27.40 and $26.96, now established as strong support zones.
