Polkadot Retraces to $45 Support as Buyers Recoup to Resume Uptrend
Oct 23, 2021 at 08:58 //
NewsToday, the price of Polkadot (DOT) broke above resistance at $45 as the market peaked at $45.74. However, buyers are still struggling to maintain the bullish momentum. Sellers are putting up fierce resistance, pushing DOT above support at $45.
Since October 20, buyers have failed to keep the price above $45. If the bulls manage to keep the price above the recent high, the polkadot will rise to $50. However, if the bulls fail to maintain the bullish momentum, the cryptocurrency will fall. A decline to $34 is to be expected. Moreover, Polkadot is approaching the overbought zone. The upside is doubtful and besides, sellers will appear in the overbought region to push prices down.
