Polkadot in a Tight Range as Bulls Struggle Under the $17 High

The price of Polkadot (DOT) is in a downward correction but capped between $13.50 and $17. DOT has fallen into the lower price range due to yesterday's rejection. At the time of writing, it has risen to $15.35.

Buyers have made three attempts to break through the high at $17. On the third attempt, the bulls break through resistance and reach the high at $17.65. Selling pressure above the recent high was overwhelming as the bears pushed DOT into the range-bound zone. If buyers push DOT above $17 and bullish momentum continues, the market will rise to the high at $21.50. The bullish momentum will likely extend to the high at $25.50. However, if buyers are pushed back from the recent high, DOT will likely fall and break support at $13.
