Ethereum Classic (ETC) is testing the lower boundary of its falling wedge on the weekly chart, a technical structure often linked with bullish reversals.
According to the crypto analyst Butterfly, buyers are defending the support zone strongly, absorbing selling pressure and stabilizing price action. Momentum is showing early signs of recovery as traders watch for confirmation of strength across the broader market.

Market participants are now eyeing a potential upside breakout if momentum continues building within the wedge structure. A confirmed move above resistance could trigger a strong expansion phase, with analysts projecting a rally toward the $56.50 region.
However, failure to hold support may delay bullish continuation and extend consolidation further in the short-term outlook.

ETC Technical Outlook Points to Strong Bearish Pressure
According to TradingView, ETC exhibits a solid bear trend for the beginning months of 2026 as its price continues to be below all the EMAs.
A swift plunge in February brought the price down to just above $7 from around $12.50. Currently, the token is stuck in a narrow band, facing instant resistance at the 20-day EMA while trying to turn bullish.

The Bollinger Bands are currently compressed into a range of volatility squeeze, which suggests that a strong movement is coming very soon.
At the moment, the asset price is standing at $7.85, while the lower band restricts its upside potential with the support at $7.71. In addition, the 200-day EMA is located above at $12.23.
Momentum Indicators Reinforce the Bearish Outlook
RSI currently stands at 40.29. This is an unweighted position that denotes the weakness of the index. Being slightly below the yellow warning line at 45.26, this indicates that there is weak buying power within the token.
The token has not yet become heavily oversold, but its negative trend suggests that bearish pressure dominates.

Further evidence is provided by the MACD indicator, as the two lines remain mostly flat close to the zero level. The MACD line stands at -0.1531, while the signal line is placed at -0.1302; therefore, the distance between them is very small, leading to the formation of a narrow red histogram.
