On the upside, an initial resistance is near the $173 level (the recent breakdown zone). The first major hurdle for the bulls is see near the $175 level since it is close to the 100 hourly simple moving average. More importantly, there is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $176 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The trend line coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the key decline from the $189 monthly high to $165 low. Ethereum Price If Ethereum starts an upside correction above the $173 level, it is likely to face a strong selling interest near the $175 and $176 levels. A successful close above the $175 level and the 100 hourly SMA is needed for more upsides. The next key resistance is near the $180 level, above which Ether price might visit the $189 monthly high. Bearish Break? If Ethereum fails to continue above the $175 and $176 resistance levels, it could start a fresh decline. An initial support on the downside is near the $167 level. The main support is near the $165 level. If there is a convincing break and close below $165, the price may perhaps extend its decline towards the $160 support or the $158 pivot level in the near term.
