The current rise of ETC is due to coming hardfork by the end of January. Honestly i dont believe much in ETC future as the "ground breaking" coin, but we can see some pattern here.

Firstly ETH rising to ATH (1300 dollars) then ETC going for bullrun to 7 to 10% of ETH. With the coming hardfork I strongly believe that ETC is going to hit 80 to 100 dollars in next 14 days.
