Bearish momentum persists as weekly indicators confirm negative bias
Weekly technical indicators for ETC continue to favor sellers. The MACD is in a strong sell position and the ADX confirms bearish dominance. Oversold conditions in the RSI, Stochastic RSI, and CCI are apparent, although the Stochastic RSI is now neutral, hinting at a possible pause in selling. Both the Bull/Bear Power and the Awesome Oscillator reinforce the negative momentum, with price holding in the middle of the weekly range and volatility at 12.88%. Main resistance is found at MA-20 ($8.251), while short-term support is established around $6.20.
Sideways trading expected as bearish signals outweigh reversal odds
Looking ahead to the next 7 days, ETC will likely trade sideways in the $6.20 – $7.70 band, with downside risk prevailing as long as key W1 indicators remain bearish. The chance of an upward move remains below 20%, as momentum and oscillators do not signal any buy or reversal. Baseline expectation is for price to consolidate within this range, with oversold indicators restraining a sharper decline. A bullish break above $7.70 could lead to short covering, but this scenario appears unlikely; further downside below $6.20 is more probable if sustained selling persists.
Earlier, analysts noted that Ethereum Classic was contending with persistent bearish momentum and a lack of upside catalysts across weekly timeframes. The current analysis confirms these headwinds remain entrenched, with heightened volatility and oversold conditions suggesting that downside risk to support near $6.20 should be closely monitored in the week ahead.
