Ethereum Classic's faltering rally
Updated
Long term I am bullish on Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency.
Short term, I think we are likely to see a rapid sell off to around 16.6k.
When setting this trade up, I considered a way to lower the risk and increase the return. Rather than using leverage directly on Bitcoin , an asset with solid fundamentals and the safe haven in a cryptocurrency rout. I have taken shorts on two other cryptocurrencies, that I have priced as over valued.
1) I believe Ethereum Classic (ETC) is currently overvalued, due to a recent rally spurred by Ethereum's (ETH) 2.0 network upgrade. ETC has been pumped with the sales pitch >> ETH miners will move to ETC, dragging over a significant portion of the ETH user base over. This is not likely in my opinion and therefore the rally is not supported with fundamentals. I foresee a sell off to the $18-20 range, a range in which I will close out my position. Current trade entry of $41.60.
2) The second short is Optimism (OP), a relatively new cryptocurrency that has been pumped from $0.50 to $2.30. Even considering it's retreat from $2.30 to $1.15, I see a further pullback to $0.80 likely, maybe $0.60 will see. Entry of position at $1.46.
Best of look out there.
RISK: Crypto might rally with the upcoming upgrades of both ETH and ADA.

Strong pump in Ethereum Classic. Providing a great opportunity for the bulls to exit their positions and the shorts to enter at a higher level. Very interesting to see that no ETC is available on exchanges to borrow. News about Hash rate reaching all time high and ETH 2.0 nearing launch is driving this surge.
