ETC/USD: Technical picture

On the daily charts, ETC/USD recovery stalled on approach to the upper line of the daily Bollinger Band at $7.45. This local barrier is followed by a stif psychological resistance of $7.50 and the previous recovery high of $7.54. This area needs to be taken off for the recovery to gain traction. Once this happens, $8.00 will come into focus. 

Considering the upward-looking RSI on the daily and weekly chart, the coin is moving within the bullish trend, however, the short-term picture implies the correction towards $7.00. This psychological barrier is reinforced by 200-daily SMA, also, it limited the sell-off on numerous occasions during this week. If it is broken, the sell-off may gain traction with the next focus on 100-day SMA at $6.50.
