$ETH breaking out of the Wedge.  Need to hold this breakout level.

With $ETC (Ethereum Classic) making a move today, it's only a matter of time until this also moves.

This could play out over the next week or so"

But who wants their assets on a chain that can rewrite history?  

ETC: Unchangeable ledger, PoW-secure, proven for a decade.  Perfect base for institutions needing provable immutability in RWA.  

No drama."

They hate surprises — need rock-solid, auditable, unchangeable base layers.  

ETC at $8.3~$8.8: The stubborn EVM that's held Code is Law through every storm. 

No VC rugs, no governance drama. Just proven reliability."
