An immediate resistance is near the $0.3050 level. It is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.3200 swing high to $0.2789 swing low. A successful break above the $0.3050 level could open the doors for more gains above the $0.3120 and $0.3150 levels.

The main support is near the $0.2800 level, below which the price may perhaps start a steady decline towards the $0.2650 level in the coming days.
