Polkadot Rebounds above $36 Low, Attempts to Breach Resistance at $48

Polkadot price rebounds above $36 low as the bullish momentum breaks the resistance levels of $40 and $42. The altcoin price is attempting to break the $44 high. DOT/USD will attain a high of $48 if buyers break above the resistance at $44.

However, in the previous price action of April 5 and 17, DOT prices reached the highs of $45 and $48 and were repelled. The bulls failed to sustain the bullish momentum as a result of overwhelming selling pressure. Today, if Polkadot faces rejection at the recent high, the market will decline to the previous range-bound zone. Since February, the altcoin has been fluctuating between $28 and $40. Today, an uptrend is facing resistance at the recent high. The uptrend will resume if the bulls overcome the current resistance. Otherwise, the DOT price will fall into the range-bound zone.
