27
Ethereum Classic (ETC) trades at $6.25, down 11.9% over the past 30 days. Its market cap — supply times price — is $985.3M, the 66-largest in crypto. Over a year it is -74% (down), and it sits -96% from its all-time high. Total value locked on this chain is $65,545 — negligible against market cap, which simply means TVL is not what this asset is for. On tradability, the book is thin, so incoming money moves the price easily. Taken together, the overall heat score is 27 (COOL). A higher number means more of the conditions for a rally are in place — it is not a price forecast.

Turnover is slow
24-hour volume equals 2.6% of market cap. Trading is quiet, so price moves are likely to stay contained.
🏔️
Far below its all-time high
Trading -96% from its all-time high. Recovering that ground would take a substantial return of demand — and a discount this large usually has a reason worth checking.

Heat score Heat factor breakdown
27
How the overall score is built: market gate 42 (applied to everything) × geometric mean of the four factors 64 (momentum, liquidity, fundamentals and supply, multiplied together) → 27. It is not a simple average: a weak market holds the whole score down, and a single weak factor drags the rest with it.
Factor breakdown (0–100; higher means more conditions are in place)
Regime (market gate) gate
42
→ The market gate is neutral. Asset-specific factors decide this one.
Momentum
34
→ The recent price trend is down. Going against it needs a reason.
Liquidity (traded volume depth)
100
→ Volume is deep enough that a move is one you could actually participate in.
Fundamentals (TVL / market cap)
50
→ TVL is unremarkable relative to market cap.
Supply lightness
100
→ Most of the supply already circulates, so unlock pressure is light.
Development activity → 1 code updates in the last four weeks — on the quiet side.
