The past few sessions were mostly bearish below $185 in ETH price against the US Dollar. Earlier, the ETH/USD pair recovered a few points from the last low of $165. The price traded above the $175 and $178 resistance levels. It also moved above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $205 high to $165 low. However, the upside move was capped by the $179-180 resistance area.

The price declined back below $175, but it later made another attempt to clear $179. However, buyers failed to gain strength above the $179 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. Besides, there is a key connecting bearish trend line formed with resistance at $178 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair is currently moving lower and trading below the $170 level.
