Prediction-

As per our past Ethereum Classic predictions, the coin performed really well. The next resistance should be around 8 USD to 8.2 USD. The next couple of weeks should see the value of each coin around this mark, but the situation is surely going to improve once the resistance gets over. The target of 10 USD is surely achievable in this quarter. The resistance will be around 9.5 USD again. The short-term holders can leverage their position now as they have already gotten more than 50 % profit over their money. But, the real bull is ahead. It is also not a very bad time to make a buy position. It will surely give results as per the wish of investors.
