If you were unhappy with 170, they why was that your number? You asked for it, they are now pushing for your number. What's the problem?
You have to know your number and stick to it. Having a job that you can stay in is leverage to you to be able to pass if the number is too low. If they come back and say they can’t do it, that’s when you can decide what’s next.
I don't think there is anything wrong with what you did. That is still 10k less than the top of their range, so I don't think you capped yourself. I really wouldn't worry about that; it sounds like they are trying to make it work for you.
.Wait and see what she says before you spend time trying to figure out what to do next.
