It traded close to the $0.3100 level and formed a low at $0.3112. Later, the price started consolidating losses with a bullish angle above $0.3200.

The pair settled above the $0.3280 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. However, the price ran into a key resistance near $0.3360 (the previous support and range high).
