"Ethereum Classic price showing bearish cues "
Ethereum price is prompting investors to press sell, as the digital asset has produced stair-stepping price action to the downside since the start of the week. While other cryptocurrencies have suffered much larger declines, Ethereum Classic's 2% loss is relatively less. Still, the ETC its price could follow suit and decline in the coming days.
Ethereum Classic is currently trading at $20.68. The bearish sentiment towards Ethereum Classic is evident, as the 8-day exponential moving average and 21-day simple moving average collide while the price remains suppressed. This suggests that the winter rally, which began in December near $14.81, is subject to a reversal.
A Fibonacci retracement tool shows the winter rally from $14.81 to the year-to-date high at $25.04, shows the 61.8% Fibonacci level at $18.10, potentially being a high-probability bearish target zone if the market continues heading south. The bearish scenario would create the potential for a 12% decline from Ethereum Classic's current market value.
