I am writing this in response to a comment made by Crypto.888, in a post made by Ivan Labrie on Tradingview.
As I do not have a Pro Tradingview subscription, nor do I see myself using the Pro anytime soon, I've decided to put up some thoughts adding into Ivan's analysis.
In case you are wondering what this is about, TL:DR --> There is a nice correlation between the BTC/USDT trend and the ETC/USDT trend on the Poloniex exchange. This might give you a better understanding of the track record performance of ETC since the beginning of 2017. Enjoy!
