Ethereum Classic (ETC) is trading around $8.85–$9.00, after a sharp rally in September followed by a pullback. Recent daily data shows ETC moved from about $7.19 on Sept. 15 to $9.50 by Sept. 25, before consolidating around $9.

📊 Technical Outlook
Current zone: $8.85–$9.00

Support: $8.40–$8.50

Major support: $7.60–$7.80

Resistance: $9.30–$9.70

Major resistance: $10.00–$10.40

Bullish breakout: Sustained move above $9.70–$10.00 could open the way toward $10.40–$11.20.

Bearish trigger: Losing $8.40 could bring another test of $7.60–$7.80.

Recent technical coverage also identified the $8.39, $8.08 and $7.64 areas as important downside zones following ETC's September rally.

🔥 Fundamental Catalyst
ETC's Era 6 block-reward reduction went live on September 28, cutting the mining reward by 20%, from 2.048 ETC to 1.6384 ETC per block. This reduces new issuance and is an important supply-side development.

📈 Bias
Short term: Neutral / cautiously bullish

As long as ETC holds $8.40–$8.50, the recent bullish structure remains intact. A clean breakout above $9.70–$10.00 would strengthen momentum, while a daily close below $8.40 would weaken the setup.

Key levels to watch:
$8.40 → $9.00 → $9.70 → $10.00 → $10.40
