Today, the price of Polkadot (DOT) rallied above $8 support as the altcoin resumes its sideways movement.

Polkadot (DOT) Price Long Term Analysis: Bearish

Yesterday, the bears pushed the cryptocurrency to the $8.83 low, while the bulls bought the dips. The current sideways movement would be over if the bears broke below the $8 support and the bearish momentum continued. The polkadot would then have regained the previous low at $7.18. 

Now buyers are trying to push the altcoin higher to reach the previous highs. The upside is doubtful as the uptrend is limited below the $10 high or the 21-day moving average line. On the upside, a price rally is capable of rising above the 21-day moving average line. However, if the price of DOT is rejected at the recent high, the altcoin will fall and drop below the $8 support.
