Polkadot Attempts to Breach $40 Resistance, Lacks Buyers at Higher Price Levels

DOT/USD is making an upward move as it retests the $40 overhead resistance. Each time buyers push the altcoin above the overhead resistance, the altcoin will fall into the range-bound zone.

The bulls have not been able to sustain the bullish momentum above the overhead resistance since February 20. Buyers fail to sustain the bullish momentum because of the presence of sellers. 

Polkadot will resume an uptrend if the overhead resistance is breached and the bullish momentum is sustained. The market will rise and reach a new high of $60 if the bullish momentum is sustained above the resistance. However, the market will continue its range bound move if the resistance remains unbroken.
