Forward-Looking Considerations

The current price may find near-term support around 0.000229–0.000230. A retest of the 0.000235 level could determine whether this is a short-term correction or a deeper bearish trend. Investors should remain cautious as volatility may pick up again if key levels break further, and stop-loss placements should be monitored.
