Ethereum classic down 2.8% this week

Highlights

Ethereum Classic fell 2.8% over the past 7 days to $7.66 and remains at the bottom of its recent range.
The asset trades below major long-term moving averages, maintaining a bearish structure with current support at $7.6505 and resistance at $7.80885.
Indicators show a firm downtrend but oversold conditions, with a 7-day expected range of $6.78161 to $9.192 and 58% probability of an increase.

Rotation into legacy Layer-1 assets fuels investor interest despite pullback

Ethereum Classic (ETC), operating on its original blockchain, drew increased capital flows from investors last week as traders rotated to older Layer-1 crypto assets, according to AMBCrypto. DiarioBitcoin highlighted that, even with a recent pullback, ETC stands out for its inherited security from combined hash power and for maintaining stable liquidity. These dynamics may shape investor sentiment and volume for ETC in the days ahead.

Oversold oscillators highlight rebound prospects amid ongoing trend pressure

The daily chart shows a sustained move lower with a firm trend, as signaled by a volatile 22.49% week and downside pressure carrying price to key support. MACD supports a continuation higher, while Stochastic RSI is in the oversold zone, suggesting the potential for a rebound despite neutral readings on other oscillators. Nearest support is at $7.6505 (MA-20 and near the Ichimoku Kijun at $7.575), with resistance found at $7.80885 (MA-200).

Breakout risk rises as base case favors range trading next week

Over the next 7 days, the expected range is $6.78161 to $9.192. There is a 58% probability of an increase and a 42% probability of a decrease. Base case calls for continued trading between $7.6505 support and $7.80885 resistance. A decisive push above $7.80885 would open the way to further gains toward the top of the range. Weakness through $7.6505 would expose downside risk toward $6.78161.

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, notes that Ethereum Classic (ETC) slipped 2.8% over the past week amid indecision, with downside pressure yet mixed signals from key daily chart oscillators. He sees a pivotal week ahead as recent investor inflows to older Layer-1 assets could support sentiment, while the chart shows price consolidating above daily support at $7.6505. A rebound is possible given MACD and oversold Stochastic RSI, but failure to hold $7.6505 risks exposure to $6.78161. "I see traders watching for a resolve: sustained strength above $7.80885 could spark a run toward $9.192, but a drop through support flips the outlook defensive on the week."

Earlier, analysts noted that Ethereum Classic faced mixed momentum signals and volatility, with market direction hinging on a break above short-term resistance or below support. Recent developments add nuance, as conflicting indicators and heightened volatility suggest traders should closely monitor the $7.6505–$7.80885 range for signs of a decisive shift in trend.
