Ethereum price is trading in a bearish zone versus the US Dollar and bitcoin<\/a>. ETH price could continue to move down if it breaks the key $165 and $162 supports.<\/em><\/p>\n Yesterday, there was a sharp decline in ETH price below the $182 and $180 supports against the US Dollar. The price even closed below the $180 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average. Finally, there was a break below the $170 support and the price traded to a new monthly low near the $164 level. Similarly, there were heavy downsides in bitcoin, ripple<\/a>, EOS, and binance coin.<\/p>\n Recently, Ethereum price corrected higher above the $165 and $166 levels. Moreover, there was a break above the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $174 high to $164 swing low. However, the upward move was capped by the $170 and $172 resistance levels. It also seems like the price failed to gain traction above the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $174 high to $164 swing low.<\/p>\n More importantly, there is a declining channel forming with resistance near $169 on the hourly chart of ETH\/USD. The pair is currently trading in a bearish zone below the $170 pivot level. Therefore, the price must climb above the $170 level to start a decent recovery. If there is an upside break above $170, the price could recover towards $174 and $175.<\/p>\n On the downside, the main supports are near the $165 and $164 levels. Besides, the $162 level is also a strong support. Therefore, a downside break below the $162 support could start another major decline in the coming sessions. The next major support is near the $154 and $150 levels.<\/p>\nEthereum Price Analysis<\/h2>\n
