It is trading above $0.1070 and the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the upward move from the $0.1204 low to $0.1345 high. However, there are many hurdles on the upside for buyers near $0.1110 and $0.1120. An immediate resistance is near the $0.1108 level. The 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the upward move from the $0.1204 low to $0.1345 high is also near the $0.1108 level to act as a resistance.
