Ethereum Price Struggling Near $180

This week, there was a slow and steady rise in Ethereum above $170 against the US Dollar. ETH price corrected a few points, but it was able to pop above the $175 resistance and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

Finally, it revisited the key $178 resistance area, where the bears took a stand. A high is formed just below $180 and the price is currently correcting gains. It broke the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent gain from the $170 swing low to $179 high.

An initial support on the downside is near the $175 level. It coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent gain from the $170 swing low to $179 high.

Moreover, there is a major ascending channel forming with support near $173 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. If there is a downside break below the channel support, the price could test the $170 support area.
