At the time of writing, the price was trading in the middle of the channel.
Will it reach move towards the support or resistance lines?
A look at technical indicators is required in order to answer that question.
Bearish Divergence
The Ethereum price is analyzed at daily intervals alongside the RSI and the MACD below: 
The Ethereum price reached a high of $279.0 on May 15. Since then, it has been trading inside an ascending channel and has reached several higher highs.
However, both the RSI and the MACD have been generating lower values. This is known as bearish divergence and often precedes price decreases.
Furthermore, the MACD has made a bearish cross and is falling.
Finally, candlesticks with values higher than $270 have been characterized by long upper wicks. This has been especially evident during the highs of May 16 and 30, respectively. This is an indication that there is selling pressure in the market.
The use of these indicators makes it likely that the price will decrease towards the support line of the channel and eventually break down.
Reversal Areas
In case of a possible breakdown, two support areas are traced below: 
The closest support is found near $228. This, however, is a minor support area and we do not believe it can initiate a reversal.
A more significant support area is found near $200. If the price breaks down from the channel, we believe it will eventually reach this area.
This, however, is not a short-term target, since the Ethereum price has been trading inside the channel for the past 18 days. Nevertheless, we believe that the price will reach the support line of the channel in the very near future.
Summary
To conclude, we believe that the price of Ethereum will soon begin to decrease, reach the support line of the channel, and eventually break down.
