Currently, Ethereum Classic price is correcting higher towards $27.00 (23.6% Fib resistance level). Significantly, the resistance level at $27.3 is a major hurdle in the price upside gains. The price is in a slow recovery trend trading higher lows and lower highs. For the currency to maintain upside gains, the bulls have to push the price past $27.3 which could see the price encounter the major resistance level at $28.50 and $29.50. On the downside, the major support is at $26.00, and a break below this level could see Ethereum Classic price experience more declines heading near closer to $25.00
