Polkadot Consolidates Above $17 Support but Targets the Resistance at $19

Today, the price of Polkadot (DOT) is in a downward correction as the altcoin holds above the crucial $16 support. Every time the bears break the current support, the bulls will buy the dips.

On March 7, Polkadot broke above the current support and continued its uptrend. The DOT price broke above the 21-day moving average line, but is below the 50-day moving average line. 

The altcoin is now trading between the 21-day line and the 50-day moving average line. If the price of DOT rises and breaks the resistance at $19, a rally above the moving averages is expected. If the bullish momentum continues, DOT will come out of the downward correction. On the other hand, if the bullish scenario proves to be invalid, the price of DOT will be forced to move between the moving averages.
