ETC is holding near $7.80. But is this a base forming, or just a pause before another leg down?

I'm watching Ethereum Classic because its daily chart is approaching an important decision point.

Here’s what stands out to me:

📉 1. The trend is still under pressure.

ETC is trading around $7.83, down 3.33% over 24 hours in my screenshot. After reaching roughly $9.50 in late September, the price has been making lower highs.

That tells me sellers still have something to prove before I consider the trend bullish.

📊 2. The moving averages tell two different stories.

The 7-day moving average is around $7.88, while the 25-day sits near $8.39. Price is below both, showing short-term weakness.

However, the 99-day average is near $7.60. That makes the $7.60-$7.80 area worth watching for a potential support reaction.

3. My bullish and bearish scenarios

🟢 Bullish: ETC holds above $7.60-$7.80, reclaims $8.00, and breaks through $8.40 with stronger buying volume. A sustained move could open a path toward $8.80-$9.00.

🔴 Bearish: ETC loses $7.60 and fails to reclaim it. That could expose the $7.40 area, followed by lower levels if selling accelerates.

These are scenarios, not guaranteed price targets.

My view: I'm not calling a bottom yet. I want to see buyers defend support and reclaim resistance with convincing volume. A bounce alone isn't confirmation.

The question is whether ETC can turn this support zone into a base, rather than simply delaying another decline.

💬 What do you think? Is ETC preparing for a recovery, or do you expect another move lower?
