If the bearish sentiment persists and ETHUSD is able to break the support line with a 3% downside penetration, it will make a push to the next horizontal support at $178.11. This price level was a previous low in October 2018 and also a previous resistance in April 2019 (functioning in role reversal).

On the flip side, a recovery could see ETHUSD retest the $268.50 price level, where price found resistance in June 2019.
