Ethereum’s technical picture
From a long-term pint of view, ETH/USD has been oscillating in a broad range since the end of September. The upper border of the range is created by psychological $200.00.

Most recently, ETH/USD touched $153.28 before climbing back inside the range.
ETH/USD, the daily chart
ETH/USD is supported by psychological $186.00. THis support area is strengthened a confluence of technical indicators, including SMA100 (Simple Moving Average), SMA200 and the lower line of the Bollinger Band on 1-hour chart. Once it is out of the way, the sell-off is likely to gain traction with the next focus on $185.54 (the recent low) and $180.00.
On the upside, a recovery above $189.00 will mitigate the initial bearish pressure and allow for the next move towards $190.00 followed by the intraday high of $199.28
