Pattern Watch
Traders should note that the overall upside projection of the falling wedge pattern may take the ETC / USD pair back towards the September 2018 swing-high.

MACD Indicator
The MACD indicator on the daily time frame is bullish, with the indicator continuing to generate a strong buy signal.
Fundamental Analysis
The medium-term prospects for the project will depend on the ability of its team to attract users and developers. Over the last year, the project has faced several major problems, including the shut down of its leading development team ETCDev. However, with the new development team ETC Labs Core, established at the beginning of the year, it seems that the project is getting back on track.
Conclusion
Ethereum Classic is turning increasingly bullish, with the ETC / USD pair now trading well above its 200-day moving average for the first time in over a year.
The ETC / USD pair may start to correct lower in near-term now that the bullish pattern on the four-hour time has reached its overall target, while the large bullish pattern on the daily time frame suggests the cryptocurrency could still trade much higher over the medium-term.
