Analysis summary
Technical asset picture
Ethereum Classic (ETC) currently has a total score of 8 points, placing it in the very weak range. The score is made up of Performance (6), Stability (4) and Trend (21). All three sub-scores are currently below average.
Performance scores 6 points (very weak). Least weak metric: 5Y return at -51.9 %. Main drag: 1Y return at -46.3 %.
Stability scores 4 points (very weak). Least weak metric: return/volatility ratio at -0.60. Main drag: current drawdown at -93.6 %. Higher Stability points are better and typically reflect calmer swings and smaller drawdowns-but prices can still fall.
Trend scores 21 points (weak). Trend signals are mostly negative right now. Key strength: Price is about 0.9 % above SMA50. Main drag: 12M momentum at -45.8 %.
