ETCUSD.P trade ideas
1 week ETC = Enormous Tremendous CatapultEthereum Classic (ETC) = Enormous Tremendous Catapult. It seems like just yesterday when ETC was trading for less than $10 bucks. smh I traded it from 2019 till today for as low as $7.68. If I only held and bought and never sold. lol. Welp, anyways it's been a fun past week being totally amazed at the price action. I can't imagine ETC going much higher, but I have been proven wrong every single day the past week. So, when in doubt, I guess just HODL and buy the dips. The best explanation I can find about this is:
"ETC 2025 market cap prediction up to $1.5 Trillion. Ethereum Classic will be the only top proof of work smart contracts blockchain aside from Ethereum, which will migrate to proof of stake, ETC is the only secure proof of work smart contracts blockchain at the base layer. There are no other top smart contracts platforms that use the proof of work based Nakamoto Consensus mechanism. This positions ETC in a unique and extremely valuable niche. ETC Labs, the core developer team in charge of Core Geth, the primary node software client of the network, successfully implemented the Modified Exponential Subjective Scoring (MESS) feature to practically eliminate reorganization attacks.
They also deployed the Thanos upgrade to the network, which adjusted the proof of work algorithm so that a larger base of miners may participate building blocks for the network. The ETC Cooperative; funded by Grayscale, the largest cryptocurrency asset manager in the world, and managers of the Ethereum Classic Trust; continues to promote ETC, producing important research on critical improvements, and maintaining the Hyperledger Besu client, which was successfully updated to operate with the Thanos upgrade.
Most remarkably, IOHK, the company who is co-founder and the main supporter of the Cardano blockchain, has recommitted significant resources to the Ethereum Classic project. In the last few months, the firm has updated their ETC Mantis node client to make it fully operational and comply with the latest ETC upgrades; under the motto “Helping to create a thriving ecosystem”, launched the brand new ETC Mantis Wallet; and has proposed a high security and simplicity focused roadmap for the Ethereum Classic ecosystem at large. ETC has a mechanical, algorithmic, and capped, thus sound and trust minimized monetary policy capped at 210M."

EtcIt looked like it was going to breakdown further as rsi started rolling on the 2hr time frame. Buyers managed to hold 134 as support. It could flag out here and chop between 159-134. As long as it holds 134 as support it can reset rsi that’s over extended on larger time frames. If we do get a confirmed hold above 159.66 it could be another breakout play here. Needs to confirm the hold above 160 thou
Continued Bullish Outlook for ETC based on Elliot WaveI was lucky enough to get in on ETC around 42 dollars before the most recent price action drove the price upwards of 150 USD. After such a large and fast movement I was very skeptical of continued movement upward and exited the trade yesterday thinking the correction would be more severe. However, after a more detailed looked at the wave structures I think there is a good chance we see more upward movement. I welcome any feedback on the idea.
To get the full context of the coin movement I started off on the day chart to look for signs of the highest degree wave sequence. I denoted the highest degree with the blue numbered curve, and simply used boxes for highlight lower degree impulses.
I believe the price action spanning from Dec to April to be the first impulse of the higher degree movement--completing waves 1 and 2. I 3 of the minor impulses with the green boxes. There could be more going back further, but adding them does not effect the fib extensions. So, they were left out for chart clarity. Additionally, using the red trend line I marked the recent price action leading up to the correction yesterday. I believe this to be a minor impulse within the major wave 3 structure.
You can see this below:
Next, I zoomed on on the recent price action on the 15m chart to take a look at the inner wave movement. I've marked what I believe to be the first minor impulse of wave 3 with the reddish numbered line. You can see that the impulse that started around the 26th of April up to now is also clearly defined by inner waves. The correction yesterday was likely 3 cycle correction following wave 3. See the chart below with the validation level marked.
Following that correction, we now appear to be moving into a leading diagonally extended wave 5 (extension type 5-3-5-3-5) Here is a closer look at that structure on the 5m below:
Below is the fib extension for the wave 5 magnitude taken to be the inverse of wave 4 correction. If wave 5 is in fact extended the magnitude may be greater:
From looking at the run up of other coins it seems like wave 3 is typically made of 3 impulses, which would imply this to be the first of two more. So this could be the start of a longer bull run for ETC. However, I cant say for sure so I will take profits within the fib extension of wave 5 to be safe ...
or lose a lot of money if I'm wrong :)

11 Rules for the Ordinary Trader
Through your trading carrier, you will learn to develop your own paths and ways to become successful in your own way, but there are many things that will give you a boost of knowledge in your trading carrier. Down bellow lists 11 different rules I have gathered from many sources.
Rule 1: Price has memory.
What happened the last time a stock hit a certain level? Chances are it will happen
again. Watch trades closely when price returns to a battleground. The prior action can
predict the future.
Rule 2: Profit and discomfort stand side by side.
Find the setup that scares you the most. That’s the one you need to trade. Don’t
expect it to feel good until you take your profit. If it did, everyone else would be
trading it. Wisdom from the East: What at first brings pleasure in the end gives only
pain, but what at first causes pain ends up in great pleasure.
Rule 3: Stand apart from the crowd at all times.
Trade ahead, behind or contrary to the crowd. Be the first in and out of the profit
door. Your job is to take their money before they take yours. Be ready to pounce on
ill-advised decisions, poor judgment and bad timing. Your success depends on the
misfortune of others.
Rule 4: Buy at support. Sell at resistance.
Trend has only two choices upon reaching a barrier: Continue forward or reverse. Get
it right and start counting your money.
Rule 5: Manage time as efficiently as price.
Time is money in the markets. Profit relates to the amount of time set aside for
analysis. Know your holding period for every trade. And watch the clock to become a
market survivor.
Rule 6: Don’t confuse execution with opportunity.
Save Donkey Kong for the weekend. Pretty colors and fast fingers don’t make
successful careers. Understanding price behavior and market mechanics does. Learn
what a good trade looks like before falling in love with the software.
Rule 7: Control risk before seeking reward.
Wear your market chastity belt at all times. Attention to profit is a sign of immaturity,
while attention to loss is a sign of experience. The markets have no intention of
offering money to those who do not earn it.
Rule 8: Big losses rarely come without warning.
You have no one to blame but yourself. The chart told you to leave, the news told you
to leave and your mother told you to leave. Learn to visualize trouble and head for
safety with only a few bars of information.
Rule 9 : Enter in mild times, exit in wild times.
The big move hides beyond the extremes of price congestion. Don’t count on the
agitated crowd for your trading signals. It’s usually way too late by the time they act.
Rule 10: Perfect patterns carry the greatest risk for failure.
Demand bruises on your trade setups. Market mechanics work to defeat the
majority when everyone sees the same thing at the same time. When perfection
appears, look for the failure signal.
Rule 11: See the exit door before the trade.
Assume the market will reverse the minute you get filled. You’re in very big trouble
when it’s a long way to the door. Never toss a coin in the fountain and hope your
dreams will come true.
Yours truly,
Jacob Schildcrout

ETCUSD Ethereum classic Elliott wave projectionThe idea is based on Elliott wave count.
Buying is to be initiated on the break of twice tested support and from the red box.
Once the descending trend is broken on a weekly basis then the uptrend will be confirmed.
Good luck.

ETC, ETC, ETC...Hello trenders,
Seems like ECT finally got out from the deep. Any resistance left so is free like a rocket.
Maybe someone can suggest in the comments where ETC it will stop cause I don´t see it.
Can be a small retrace but is a strong bullish trend that will continue performing better then many.
Definitely to trade.
