Ethereum experienced a sharp downward correction from a high of $198 against the US dollar. The current price broke several significant supports in the past week around the $188 and $185 levels. In fact, there was a close deep beneath the  100 hourly simple moving average and the $185 support. Eventually, the price began trading near the $180 level and finally found its support at $178. The significance of this support remains in the ability to pull out a price consolidation. 

During press time, Ethereum’s price is consolidating around $178 and $175 support levels. I also noticed a 23.6% <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/fibonacciretracement.asp">Fib retracement level </a>of the last major decline from a high of $198 to a swing low of $178. 
<h3>Ethereum Price Consolidation</h3>
Thereby, creating a trading price point of $183 level. Unfortunately, the upward correction is facing several hurdles around the $184 and $185 levels. 

The 100 hourly simple moving average has been preventing a  break beyond the $184. A key bearish trend line is also forming resistance near $184 on the hourly ETH/USD. Hence it will require a sound break above the $185 level and the 100 hourly SMA to create a strong upward correction. The next<a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/resistance.asp"> key resistance</a> will fall around the $188 level. Which represents a 50% Fib retracement level of the last major decline from a high of $198 and a low of $178. 

A glance at the chart reveals a lot of details about the price consolidation trend and it is clear that there will be a break above $178 and $175 support levels. Indeed, there could be high chances of a break above $185, though its really difficult to discard another drop before an increase is made possible. 
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
In other Ethereum news ahead of the launch of Ethereum 2.0. It seems like both 1.0 and 2.0 will coexist simultaneously as separate tokens.
