DOT Price (Polkadot) Uptrend To Continue? These Could Be The Factors To Watch

Polkadot (DOT) is gaining pace above the $6.80 resistance against the US Dollar. The price could gain bullish momentum if it clears the $7.28 resistance.

• DOT is trading in a positive zone from the $6.00 support against the US Dollar.
• The price is trading near the $7.00 zone and the 100 simple moving average (4 hours).
• There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance near $6.50 on the 4-hour chart of the DOT/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
• The pair could continue to rise unless the bears are able to defend the $7.28 resistance zone.

After a steady decline, DOT price found support near the $6.00 zone. A low was formed at $5.97 and Polkadot recently started a fresh increase. The price was able to clear the $6.20 and $6.50 resistance levels to move into a positive zone, like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance near $6.50 on the 4-hour chart of the DOT/USD pair. The pair even surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $8.58 swing high to the $5.97 low.

DOT is now trading near the $7.00 zone and the 100 simple moving average (4 hours). Immediate resistance is near the $7.20 level. The next major resistance is near $7.28 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $8.58 swing high to the $5.97 low.

A successful break above $7.28 could start another strong rally. In the stated case, the price could easily rally toward $8.00 in the near term. The next major resistance is seen near the $8.50 zone.

If DOT price fails to start a fresh increase above $7.28, it could start a fresh decline. The first key support is near the $6.60 level.

The next major support is near the $6.00 level, below which the price might decline to $5.65. Any more losses may perhaps open the doors for a move toward the $5.32 support zone.
