Polkadot Breaks Initial Resistance as It Targets the $14 High

The price of Polkadot (DOT) is in a downtrend today, but is making an impressive move to the upside. Buyers have overcome the initial resistance at $10. This is an indication of strong buying at lower price levels.

The cryptocurrency will rally to $14 if the current upward momentum continues. Nonetheless, the current uptrend is approaching an overbought region of the market. DOT/USD could face resistance at the recent high.

At press time, the altcoin is trading at $11.32. The bulls have yet to convincingly overcome the initial resistance. Should the price of DOT fall below the $10 price level, the altcoin would be forced to move in a range between $7.18 and $10.00. In the meantime, buyers are still holding above the $10 support.
