ETC/USD: Technical picture
From the short-term point of view, ETC/USD recovery is limited by the psychological 7.00 level This pivotal resistance served as an important barrier during the previous week’s consolidation pattern. Once it is out of the way, the upside is likely to gain traction with the next focus on $7.60, which is the recent recovery high and the highest level since May 5.
On the downside, the price is supported by 4-hour SMA50 below $6.60. If it is broken, the sell-off will continue towards the next support created by a combination of 4-hour SMA100 and the lower line of the 4-hour Bollinger Band on approach to $6.40. This barrier separates ETC from an extended sell-off towards psychological $6.00, closely followed by the recent consolidation channel.
The RSI on the intraday charts attempts the upside reversal, which means ETC is likely to retest the upper limit of the channel.
