Ethereum Classic dropped from $9.68 to $8.60 on September 24, 2026, marking an 11.16 percent decline. This shift occurred as Bitcoin and Ether prices also retreated due to market-wide profit-taking and the unwinding of overleveraged long positions.
Why it matters
The price correction follows a period of rapid appreciation where the asset gained 36.5 percent in less than a week. The decline highlights how broader crypto market trends can quickly impact assets that have recently surged past established supply zones.
Ethereum Classic fell 11.16 percent to $8.60, while Bitcoin and Ether saw daily declines of 2.10 percent and 2.53 percent respectively. The asset previously rallied 36.5 percent in under one week.
The players
Ethereum Classic
This is a decentralized computing platform that runs smart contracts and maintains its own blockchain.
Bitcoin
This is the world's largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization and often serves as a benchmark for broader market sentiment.
Ether
This is the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum network, which frequently influences the movement of other tokens.
The details
Price action breached the $9.20 supply zone, triggering a sell-off after the token failed to maintain its momentum. While the asset had previously moved above the $7.77 level in August and defended the $7.15 support twice, the current pullback reflects market-wide profit-taking.
Timeline
August 2026: The token moved above the $7.77 price level.
September 24, 2026: The token recorded an 11.16% price decline.
Market Dynamics
The Chaikin Money Flow indicator currently measures above +0.05, providing a technical baseline for the asset's ongoing market activity. This indicator remains a standard tool for analyzing the current price trajectory of crypto assets amidst broader market volatility.
Investors should monitor the $9.20 supply zone, which the asset must reclaim to reduce further correction risks. A failure to hold the $7.09 downside support level may invalidate the current bullish structure for the token.
The takeaway
Market participants should remain cautious as the asset tests critical support levels following a rapid rally. Reclaiming established supply zones is necessary to shift the trend back toward a bullish outlook.
