Polkadot Fluctuates Between $32 and $38 as Buyers Regroup for a Rebound

Polkadot (DOT) price is below the moving averages, falling to the low of $33. Support at $33 has held as bulls have bought the dips. DOT price is recovering from the current support and the altcoin is rising to the high of $38.

The upside correction was staved off as the market came under renewed selling pressure. Polkadot would have been in the bullish trend zone had buyers pushed the altcoin above the high of $44. However, the cryptocurrency risks further downside as it faces a rejection of the recent high. In short, the uptrend will continue if the price breaks above the $38 high. However, the selling pressure will continue if the bears break the support at $32.
