Polkadot Breaks the Initial Resistance but Fails to Sustain Above $10 High

The price of Polkadot (DOT) is trading in the uptrend zone as it breaks above the moving average lines. The cryptocurrency has regained bullish momentum as it resumes its uptrend.

On August 5, the bulls broke through the resistance at $9.20 and reached the high of $9.64. The cryptocurrency is likely to continue rising as buyers try to push the altcoin to the highs of $10.79 and $11.84. However, further upward movement of the altcoin is unlikely as the market has reached the overbought zone. In the overbought area, sellers will emerge and push prices down. Nevertheless, if DOT/USD turns from the $10 high, the market will fall above the moving average lines or the $9.20 support.
