tradersunion.com reports that Ethereum Classic (ETC) advanced 13.23% to trade at $10.1 on 24 September 2026. The asset is positioned above its MA-20 and MA-50 on the hourly chart, confirming sustained bullish momentum. It also trades well above the MA-200, indicating strength across short- and medium-term timeframes.
The Ichimoku Kijun level at $9.165 now serves as immediate support for the price. Technical indicators support the trend, with MACD and ADX signaling bullish strength. RSI and CCI are both in Buy territory, while Bull/Bear Power confirms ongoing buyer control.
Stochastic RSI and the Awesome Oscillator remain neutral with negligible gaps. Analysts note that strong technical buying supports the asset, though market conditions remain complex. The report expects ETC to trade between $9.6 and $10.60 over the next 2 to 3 days. A break above $10.60 could lead to further gains, while a drop below $9.16 support would expose lower levels.
