An initial resistance is near $0.3030 and the 50% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $0.3094 high to $0.2971 low. However, the main resistance is near the $0.3070-0.3080 area.

The 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $0.3094 high to $0.2971 low is also near $0.3047 to act as a resistance. Therefore, if there is an upside correction, the price could face a strong resistance near $0.3045 and $0.3060.
