ETC/USD: Technical picture
On the intraday charts, ETC/USD is moving within the narrow horizontal range. The short-term recovery is limited by the upper line of the 30-min Bollinger Band at $7.3 and 30-min SMA200 at $7.38. One this barrier is out of the way, the upside momentum may be extended with the next focus on $7.50 reinforced by 30-min SMA100 and the middle line of the 4-hour Bollinger Band.

On the downside, the local recovery is created by 30-min SMA50 at $7.20. If it is broken, psychological $7.00 will come into focus. This psychological barrier is reinforced by 200-daily SMA. If it is broken, the sell-off may gain traction with the next focus on 100-day SMA at $6.50 followed by the above-mentioned Sunday's low of $6.49.
