ETC's liquidity has increased significantly in the short term, driven by the recovery of global risk appetite and the fundamental rebound of the Ethereum ecosystem, with trading volume expanding. The current price is facing resistance near $8.75. The $8.90–$9.00 range is a key resistance zone—if broken, ETC is likely to strengthen; otherwise, a drop below $8.36 would trigger a correction risk. It's recommended to watch the $8.13 area as a key defense line for long positions. Overall, the short-term trend depends on the persistence of risk appetite toward high-beta assets and Bitcoin's performance at critical volatility levels. Strategically, range trading and flexibility are advisable.

Recent progress in cease-fire talks in the Middle East and the Federal Reserve's policy direction have led to a decline in market risk aversion, prompting a phase rebound in global risk assets. Bitcoin repeatedly broke through key price levels, boosting US stocks and exerting downward pressure on oil prices, resulting in a general rise in risk appetite that has benefited major crypto assets including ETC. Notably, ETC consolidated in the $8.00–$8.40 range after late March, and, as risk assets recovered in early April, surged with increased volume, regaining $8.60 and continuing to climb, signaling renewed investor preference for high-risk asset classes.

Bitcoin surged past $72,000, rising about 3% to approximately $72,300, driven by easing tensions in the Middle East. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu reportedly initiated talks with Lebanon, supported by Trump's call for reduced Israeli military actions to maintain a ceasefire. Bitcoin's 24-hour gain of around 2% outpaced other major cryptocurrencies and coincided with a rebound in U.S. stocks and a drop in oil prices. Bitcoin is increasingly decoupling from tech stocks, influenced more by geopolitical and risk-averse factors.

The Ethereum network has seen a large increase in both user numbers and transaction volume, with the ETH/BTC ratio hitting a three-month high, reflecting enhanced appeal of high-risk assets in the market. Institutions continue to increase their holdings of Bitcoin ETFs and are optimistic about Ethereum's fundamentals, a trend that resonates with ETC. As the continuation chain of Ethereum Classic, ETC is expected to receive more liquidity support as Ethereum network activity rises, strengthening its long-term value proposition.

In Q1 2026, the Ethereum to Bitcoin price ratio (ETH/BTC) rebounded to 0.0313, a three-month high, indicating a recovery in the crypto market. Ethereum network users grew 82% year-on-year to 284,000, with transaction volume reaching 200.4 million. Stablecoin supply exceeded $180 billion, about 60% of the global market. Analysts suggest that if ETH/BTC closes above 0.035 weekly, it signals continued inflows into Ethereum and high-risk assets. Bitcoin remains above $74,000, supported by over $56 billion inflows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs.

Analysis: Ethereum-Bitcoin price ratio rebounds, overall crypto market recovers

Bitcoin prices have repeatedly displayed key volatility triggers near the $75,000 mark, with short-term negative gamma effects potentially intensifying swings. Such market behavior typically transmits first to high-beta assets during pullbacks. On the ETC daily chart, a large spike in trading volume on April 4th resulted in a gap up to $8.62, followed by a move to nearly $9.00 before entering consolidation. The current price faces resistance at around $8.75, and the daily RSI indicator is near high levels. In the short term, ETC faces resistance at $8.90–$9.00; a break below $8.36 could trigger another correction, with key support to watch at $8.13.

Bitcoin has surpassed a four-week high, rising above $74,000. Analysts identify $75,000 as a critical "volatility release point," where derivative market negative gamma effects may amplify price fluctuations. This level coincides with Bitcoin's 100-day moving average, a key resistance in January. Breaking $75,000 could accelerate an uptrend, while a pullback may increase downward pressure. The $80,000–$80,600 range is a positive gamma zone with lower volatility, and the 200-day moving average at $87,519 serves as a long-term reference.
