ETH/USD was trading 0.67% lower on the day at 185.59 at 05:55 GMT, intraday bias is neutral to slightly bullish.

The pair is consolidating previous session's gains and minor retracement has held above 200H SMA support.

Buying pressure at lows seen, with 'Hammer' formation on the hourly charts around 200 SMA support.

Technical indicators do not provide a clear directional bias. Volatility is low. Further sideways grind likely.
