It seems like there is an inverse head and shoulders pattern forming with resistance near $190-$192. In the short term, Ethereum might dip a few points for form the right shoulder near the $185 level.

On the upside, the bulls need to push the price above the $190 and $192 resistance levels. If they succeed, Ether might continue to recover above the $195 resistance.

The next major resistance is near the $198 and $200 levels. The 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $214 swing high to $180 low is also near the $198 level to act as a resistance. Therefore, a clear break above $198 and $200 could lead the price towards $210.

Bearish Scenario

If Ethereum fails to stay above the $185 and $180 support levels, it could resume its decline. The next support is seen near the $178 level.
