ETC is double the volume of ETH on Poloniex too
there is more shitcoins on exchangers than coins that can make a difference.
however, yes, etc volume is -/+ double the volume of eth.
in my opinion eth is stable now (for the time being, its not moving too much up nor too much down)
in my honest feeling, etc will be pumped to rival eth within end of september 2016.
the problem about this is, more volume either buy or sell is related to both eth and etc thus the bitcoin sudden decline.
but bitcoin will hit up in a few days. its always the steep decline before the pump.
once bitcoin is pumped, etc will suffer. THATS when i will gamble on etc. the price might be lower than $1
at that point, btc will be dumped to buy etc. eth on the other hand will be more of a, secure buy. but for quick profit, etc will be pumped once the pump and dump of btc occur.
those are not facts, just speculations based on chart analysis. etc is too young to say its going to die. in fact with the amount of transaction volume on etc. its the best bet for this august/september.
time shall say
