The extended bearish trend, formed at late April 2018’s swing hi $828.97, remained firmly intact. A reversal from June’s current year high $364.49 back through the 23.6% FIB of $257 reaffirmed the extended bearish trend.

Failure to move through to $175.55 levels could see Ethereum fall deeper into the red. A fall through the morning low $168.7 would bring the first major support level at $163.15 into play.
