Ethereum Classic Rallies 12% in 6 Hours: Will July be Bullish?

Over the last couple of days, the crypto market derailed from its recovery track. With Bitcoin stagnated around $30k, most other cryptos were also seen consolidating. However, on Friday, June 30, the market seemed back on track. The aggregate valuation of all assets re-claimed $1.2 trillion, thanks to the 2% pump over registered over the past 24-hours.

ETC pumps double digits: What lies ahead?

Several Altcoins had registered double digit rallies, and Ethereum Classic was one among them. In just a matter of six hours, this Ethereum forked crypto asset rallied from $17.96 to $20.04 today. The same translated to an approximate 12% appreciation. From the said high, a slight retracement has been registered. ETC was seen exchanging hands at $19.71 at press time.

On the weekly timeframe, Ethereum Classic is currently being tested by the 78.6% Fib level. As illustrated below, this level has acted like a strong resistance for the asset so far in Q2. If the bullish momentum further intensifies, then ETC’s rally could renew. If the asset manages to successfully break-above the said level and convert it to support, then a gradual inclination to its next test level 27.7% higher, i.e. $25.17, can be anticipated over the next few weeks in July.

However, if bears slowly start dominating, then a consolidation around current levels can be expected. Thereon, if the sell pressure intensifies, then the asset could drop down to its next support around $15.

Beware of the ‘spoilsport’

The latest rise has helped change the fate of investors. In the second week of June, Ethereum Classic’s sharpe ratio was at a level as low as -4.69. However now, it is already back to the positive territory. At press time, it flashed a value of 1.42, indicating that investors are slowly being compensated adequately for the risk borne by them by holding the asset.

However, there might be a fundamental cause of concern. Ethereum Classic active addresses continue to be on a downtrend. In the beginning of this year, this metric peaked at 36.6k. Currently, only 1/3rd of the said participants are active. Conventionally, the higher the number, the better, for it hints towards refining participation by traders/investors. Effectively, the ongoing trend ain’t encouraging, and could hinder the ETC’s potential rally going forward.

The recent drop in the crypto market cap was the result of the SEC suing Binance, the largest crypto exchange platform. Nevertheless, van de Poppe suggested that if the total stays above these two lines in the upcoming weeks, it would indicate that the latest market correction has reached its lowest point. Weekly chart for TOTAL/USD (Source: TradingView) At press time, CoinMarketCap indicated that the collective crypto market cap stood at around $1.09 trillion following a 3.83% drop in the past 24 hours.
