Looking at the ETH/USD 1-day chart:

• Since our last analysis, ETH dropped beneath the symmetrical triangle and fell into the current support at $176.19, provided by a short term .5 Fibonacci Retracement level.
• From above: The nearest level of resistance lies at $180. Above this, resistance is at $185, $189, $194, and $200. The resistance at $200 is bolstered by the 200-days EMA. Higher resistance is found at $202, $211, $218, and $225.
• From below: The nearest level of support lies at $176.19. Beneath this, support can be expected at $181.97, $170.81 (.618 Fib Retracement), and $165. If the selling continues, support is located at $160, $158.61, and $152.38.
• The trading volume has been very low during November 2019.
• The RSI has dipped beneath the 50 level to show that the sellers are in control over the market momentum. However, the Stochastic RSI is in oversold conditions as we wait for a bullish crossover signal to send the market higher.
