Ethereum’s technical picture
On the daily charts, the initial support is created by the middle line of the Bollinger Band at $177.70. Once it is out of the way, the sell-off is likely to gain traction with the next focus on $173.00 area, which includes a sloping trend line from September 19 high at $224.68. This trend line had served as a strong resistance until it was broken on October 26. If this support zone goes way, the downside momentum might start snowballing. The next bearish target awaits at $170.00. It is flowed by the lower line of daily Bollinger Band at $163.30.
On the upside, the recovery is capped by SMA50 (Simple Moving Average) on a daily chart currently at $183.30. However, the bulls need to clear psychological $180.00 before they get to SMA50 and proceed to the intraday high of $185.50. We will need to see a sustainable move above this handle for the extended recovery towards psychological $190.00 strengthened by SMA100 daily.
