The price started a downside move and traded below the $0.7000 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. It also broke the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last upside wave from the $0.5324 low to $0.7246 high.

The downside move was such that the price even broke the $0.6400 support. More importantly, there was a break below the 50% Fib retracement level of the last upside wave from the $0.5324 low to $0.7246 high. At the moment, the price is testing a major support at $0.6100.
