Looking at the hourly chart, the price is trading above the moving averages. Capacity to correct higher is immense according to the technical levels. For instance, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has managed to stay on the positive side in addition to the shallow trend upwards. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has retreated from the overbought but also holding position at 61.

 There is a higher chance that ETC will find support at $6.25 and trend sideways with the upside still capped at $6.5 in the coming sessions. This means that traders should not also expect sudden price movements.
