It recently traded below the $0.3650 support and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $0.3462 low to $0.3722 high. However, there are many supports near the $0.3600 and $0.3550 levels. Besides, the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $0.3462 low to $0.3722 high prevented the recent drop.
