- Ethereum Classic price is attempting to recover after forming a local bottom at $31.20.
- If successful, this bounce could propel ETC by 25% to $39.03 or roughly $40.
- A flip of the $25.11 support floor into a resistance level will invalidate the recovery thesis and resume the downtrend.
Ethereum Classic price consolidates after forming a local bottom as Bitcoin price scrambles to find support. ETC's recovery depends on BTC potential upward bounce being triggered, which would be a sweep of the $20,750 support level. If successful, ETC could trigger an explosive move to fill the imbalance created during the recent crash.
Ethereum Classic price awaits a buy trigger
Ethereum Classic price formed a double bottom at $31.20 after crashing 25% between August 18 and 22. This development led to a quick 5% recovery, but the plan was foiled by BTC price, which took a tumble.
As a result, investors can wait for Bitcoin price to collect the liquidity present below $20,750 before entering a long position on ETC. After the big crypto sweeps the aforementioned level, investors can check to see if ETC has also swept the sell-stop liquidity resting below $31.20.
If that happens, then it will be the buy required to start accumulating Ethereum Classic price. In such a case, ETC could rally 25% to fill the imbalance present at $39.03. In some cases, the bounce could hit the $40 psychological level and form a local top there.
ETC/USDT 1-day chart
On the other hand, if Ethereum Classic price fails to stay above the equal lows formed at $31.20 or recover above it, it will indicate a weakness among ETC buyers. In such a case, market participants can look for a retest of the $26.27 and $25.11 support levels.
A daily candlestick close below the $25.11 barrier that flips it into a resistance level will invalidate the bullish recovery thesis for Ethereum Classic price.
