Aug 27, 2022 at 13:39 //
PricePolkadot (DOT) is in a downtrend as the altcoin trades below its moving average lines. On August 24, the price of DOT retested the 50-day line SMA, but was rejected.
On August 20, the price of Polkadot dropped and found support above the $7.04 level. Last week, the altcoin fluctuated above the current support but below the 50-day line SMA.
The DOT price movement was insignificant due to the presence of small candle bodies called doji and spinning tops. Price action is stagnant as buyers and sellers have reached a stage of indecision. If the bulls break above the moving average lines, the altcoin will rise and regain the upper resistance of $9.68. In the same sense, if the current support is broken, the cryptocurrency will continue to fall. This means that the cryptocurrency will continue to fall to the previous lows at $6.52 and $5.98.
