There was a nice upside momentum formed and the price was able to break bother $0.2100 and $0.2150. The upside move was such that the price cleared the $0.2200 handle and traded as high as $0.2251.

It seems like the current wave is not over yet and the price might break $0.2250 soon to test $0.2300.
