What’s Next For Ethereum Classic?

Bullish traders are looking to see the crypto continue to trade above the higher low trendline up to resistance. Bulls are then looking for a break of resistance and period of consolidation for the crypto to possibly see a further bullish move.

Bearish traders would like to see Ethereum Classic fall below the higher low trendline and move toward the $40 support level. Bears are then looking for a break below the $40 support level and for it to turn into resistance and hold below it. This could cause a further bearish push in time.
