- Ethereum Classic (ETC) is in retreat after a failed attempt to clear an important barrier.
- The critical support comes at a 100-day SMA on approach to $6.40.
Ethereum Classic (ETC) faced stiff resistance on approach to $7.40 and retreated below $7.00 amid sharp downside correction. The coin lost nearly 4% of its value in a matter of hours to trade at $6.84 by the time of writing. On a day-to-day basis, the coin is down 4.4%

ETC/USD: Technical picture
On the daily charts, ETC/USD dropped below critical support created by 200-day SMA on approach to psychological $7.00. This development has worsened the technical picture; however, the move still qualifies as a technical correction as long as the price stays above $6.40. This barrier is created by a combination of 100-day SMA and the middle line of the daily Bollinger Band. If it is broken. the sell-off may be extended to psychological $6.00.
On the upside, the initial resistance is created by the above-mentioned critical barrier of $7.00 reinforced by 200-day SMA. Once it is out of the way, the upside is likely to gain traction with the next focus on the recent high on approach to $7.40
