Ethereum Classic Got Caught in the Crossfire. The Chart Still Looks Good. Opened my charts and ETC was down 11% in a day. 😬 My first thought was that something broke. Nope. Bitcoin and $ETH slipped, leveraged longs got wiped across the market, and ETC just got dragged along for the ride. The funny part? Out of roughly $548 million in liquidations, ETC longs made up about $803K. That's pocket change. This wasn't people bailing on ETC, it was the whole market shaking out leverage. And the bigger picture still looks healthy to me. ETC flipped bullish back in August after breaking $7.77, bulls defended $7.15 twice, and money has been flowing in. I've traded enough of these setups to know an 11% red candle inside an uptrend is usually noise, not the end of the story. 📊 Short term, though, I wouldn't rush in. That $9.20 area turned into a wall, and until it's reclaimed I can see price drifting to $8.39–$8.08, maybe $7.64. If that happens while $7.09 holds, I'm treating it as a gift, not a warning. Lose it, and I'd change my mind fast. 🎯 #Ethereum #Altcoin Season#
