The price has already corrected above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $0.2250 high to $0.1911 low.

The trend line resistance is also near the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $0.2250 high to $0.1911 low. Therefore, a break above it won’t be easy, but if there is a break, the price can test $0.2060-0.2080.
