The price declined over 5% and there was a move below the $2.320 support. Finally, the price spiked below the $2.20 support. A low was formed at $2.171 and the price is now correcting losses. There was a move above the $2.250 level.
The price cleared the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.720 swing high to the $2.171 low. The price is now trading below $2.50 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.40 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.450 level.

The trend line is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.720 swing high to the $2.171 low.
The next resistance is $2.50. A clear move above the $2.50 resistance might send the price toward the $2.55 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.620 resistance or even $2.80 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $3.00.
