Ethereum Classic price shows bearish influence
Ethereum Classic price could be rewarding bears who jumped in early last week during the uptrend spike towards the $24 zone as the technicals are alluding to an imminent downswing. On February 27, the Ethereum Classic price hovers 5% below last week's opening price as bears maintain their stronghold near the $22 zone.
Ethereum Classic price currently auctions at $21.30. That time of riding the 8-day exponential and 21-day simple moving averages is coiling above the current trading range, suggesting a strong liquidation event could be on the way.
Fibonacci retracement tools surrounding the start of the winter rally, from the $14.81 swing low established on December 29 and the $25.04 swing high established on February 4, show the recent downswing having breached the 38.2% retracement level for the second time this month. A second attempt at the $20 boundary could be ETC's breaking point. If the breach occurs, the ETC prices will likely climb towards the 61% Fib level near $18, resulting in a 15% decline from the current market value.
