Price bounced from $1.30 lows, tagged $1.3741, pulled back below the 50% Fib, and is now consolidating above $1.35 and the 100-hour SMA.

Downside: fail $1.3740 and $1.3280 gets tested - the 61.8% Fib. Close below that and $1.3175 → $1.3120→ $1.30 are all in scope. Lose $1.30 and the short-term bullish structure breaks entirely. Thats the level that matters most on the downside. A
