After carefully observing the 12-hour chart, it was clear that Ethereum was gradually losing valuation for over a month at press time. However, the price movement of Ethereum formed a falling wedge with its current activity. A couple of lower highs were formed in the channel, indicating that the price had adhered to the pattern.
Ethereum has immediate support at $177.94 but according to the trend, there seems to be a higher possibility that the price might go lower before eventually rising to test resistance at $277.14. The descending volume also confirmed validity of the falling wedge, indicating absence of investors at the moment.
