The ETC/USD pair climbed higher and broke the $12.50, $12.75 and $13.00 resistance levels. It traded close to the $13.40 level and formed a short-term top at $13.37. Later, there was a downside correction and the price moved below $13.00. The price also moved below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $12.27 low to $13.37 high.
However, the price is now approaching a crucial support near the $12.75-12.80 area. There is also a major bullish trend line in place with support at $12.75 on the hourly chart of the ETC/USD pair.
