After reaching this support, if the bearish pressure continues to build price action is then likely to fall further into more support at the short term .886 Fibonacci Retracement level (drawn in green) priced at $0.3028.

If the market continues to fall even further lower and break below the $0.30 handle, then more support can then be expected at the short term downside 1.618 Fibonacci Extension level (drawn in red) priced at $0.2989.

What if the bulls regain control?

Alternatively, if the bulls can regain control at the support at the short term downside 1.414 FIbonacci Extension level (drawn in red) priced at $0.3106 and reverse we can expect immediate higher resistance to be located at the previous support level (now resistance) at the short term .786 Fibonacci Retracement level (drawn in green) priced at $0.3185.

Further resistance above this can then be expected at the previous short term 1.414 and 1.272 Fibonacci Extension levels (drawn in blue) priced at $0.3291 and $0.3361, respectively.

Further resistance above this can be located at the short term .618 and .5 Fibonacci Retracement levels (drawn in green) priced at $0.3449 and $0.3635, respectively.

What are the technical indicators showing?

The RSI has fallen far below the 50 handle on the 4HR chart which indicates that the bears are in solid control of the market. The RSI is rapidly approaching the oversold condition level where a short term rebound can be expected.

For this market to reverse and begin to climb higher again we will need to see the RSI heading back toward the 50 handle to indicate that the bearish momentum is showing signs of failure.
