It is now trading near the $0.5700 resistance level and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). It is showing a lot of positive signs. An immediate resistance is near the $0.5890 level. It is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the key downward wave from the $0.5945 high to $0.4350 swing low.
A close above the $0.5890 level could set the pace for a sustained upward move towards the $0.6000 and $0.6120 levels in the near term.
