An immediate resistance is near the $38.35 level. It is close to the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $39.53 swing high to $34.83 swing low. The main resistance is still near the $39.50 and $40.00 levels.
A successful break above $39.50 and a close above $40.00 could start a strong rally. In the stated case, the price could easily rise 10%-15% in the near term.
Dips Supported?
If DOT price fails to continue higher above $39.50 or $40.00, there could be a fresh decline. The first key support is near the $37.60 and $37.50 levels.
The next major support is near the $35.80 level and the bullish trend line. Any more losses may perhaps open the doors for a move towards the $32.00 support zone.
