<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ethereum-classic-etc-price-structure-on-daily-and-weekly-overview">Ethereum Classic (ETC) Price Structure on Daily and Weekly Overview</h2> 
Over the weekly chart, most of the price structure was in the broad range of $12-$46. Except in 2021, when the price structure peaked out of this range, an ATH was registered at $175.&nbsp; 
Overall, 70% of the price formation was below this range, and 30% was out of the range. 
As per the TradingView (ETC/USD-COINBASE), the price has traded nearly 85% down as of writing. Based on the recent surrounding spot Ether ETFs will trade soon. The Ethereum branded assets, like ETC, could skyrocket. Thus, the probability appears higher that it could break out of the range.

Over the daily chart, the price resonated with BTC’s bullish effect on the broader market. After the deterioration ended, ETC sustained on the same day as BTC (July 5th). In the last 18 days, the price grew over 30%. 
ETC has breached the 50-day EMA band and has been approaching the 200-day EMA. Meanwhile, the MACD formed a bullish cross with a histogram at 0.39, and RSI flashed at 58.33.

Therefore, the resistance levels on the daily time frame are $28.52 and $34.28. Failure to ascend will give the seat to bears, and they could eye for $21.90 and $18.45 support levels. 
ETC surged 5% on news of ETH ETF approval, and trading volume spiked. Market cap reached $3.6 Billion, reflecting bullish momentum. Technical indicators indicate potential for further gains, but resistance levels loom.
