Polkadot Hovers above $18 Support as Buyers Fail to Breach the $23 High
Feb 19, 2022 at 11:31 //
PriceThe price of Polkadot (DOT) resumed its downward correction after the price fell below the moving averages. Today, the DOT price fell to the low of $17.
The cryptocurrency is in a downward correction as the altcoin falls into the $16 to $20 range. In the previous uptrend, buyers were unable to overcome resistance at $23 and the 50 moving average. This is the reason for the current downtrend.
Today there is a bullish candle above the $17 support, while altcoin continues its uptrend. DOT/USD is trading at $18.42 as of press time. If the DOT price rises above the current support, the $20 and $23 resistance levels are likely to be breached. The bullish momentum is likely to continue above the moving averages. Nevertheless, the downside correction will continue if the bullish scenario is invalidated.
