SNT recovery underway

Once it is broken, the sell-off may be extended towards $0.027. This barrier was tested as resistance on numerous occasions in October and November and it is now reinforced by 12-hour 200 EMA.

On the upside, the recovery is limited by 12-hour 50 EMA at $0.036. Once it is out of the way, the upside is likely to gain traction with the next focus on $0.04 and the recent recovery high at $0.045.
