There was a spike above the $0.3060 level and the recent swing high was formed near the $0.3065 level. At the moment, the price is correcting lower below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.2930 low to $0.3065 high.

Therefore, a downside break below the $0.2980 support might start an extended correction. The next major support is near the $0.2950 level, below which the price might revisit the $0.2880 support zone, followed by the $0.2850 pivot area.
