Do not be carried away by this latest rise in price for now. But continue watching and wait for a better situation to buy. The last thing ETC needs is people riding the pump only for the manipulators to dump again. Stability is more important and an increasing hash rate.
The ETH foundation started dumping their ETC. This is bad news short term. The attacker will also get access to his ETC. A fresh round of dumping will begin at that point.
At the moment it would seem the ETC community is fractured. Could we see a third Ethereum project?
