Ether is currently declining and trading below $1,800. There is also a key rising channel forming with support near $1,775 on the 4-hours chart of ETH/USD. If there is a downside break below the channel support, there is a risk of a drop towards the $1,710 support. Any more losses below $1,700 may possibly open the doors for a larger decline towards $1,550 and $1,500.
