Ethereum Classic price prepares for volatility 

Ethereum Classic (ETC) price has created a multi-month descending triangle setup. In particular, ETF has bounced off the $14.70 support level five times since December 2022. The last four bounces, aka swing lows, were followed by a string of lower highs. Connecting these swing points using trend lines reveals a descending triangle setup. This technical formation has a bearish bias but investors cannot ignore the possibility of an upward breakout since this rangebound movement is happening after a long duration of downtrend.

On October 23, Ethereum Classic price breached the descending triangle's hypotenuse by producing a daily candlestick close above it. This pattern forecasts a 30% upswing to $20.59, which is obtained by measuring the distance between the first swing high and the swing low to the breakout point of $15.90.

Considering the Relative Strength Index’s (RSI) position above the 50 level on the daily timeframe, the chances of the ongoing rally's continuation are high. With these points in mind Ethereum Classic price needs to overcome the $17.15 and $19.99 hurdles to reach the theoretical target of $20.59. From its current position of $16.53, this move would constitute a near 2 5%-gain.

While the bullish outlook makes logical sense, investors need to note that this weekend rally could come undone at the start of a fresh week. In such a case, if the Ethereum Classic price produces a daily candlestick close below the $14.70 support floor, it will confirm a bearish breakout. In such a case, the measurement rule forecast a 30% correction to $10.36. But the descend might face exhaustion around $10.72, which is the three-day support last seen in February 2021.
