Polkadot Hovers $8 Support as Bulls and Bears Reach Equilibrium

The price of Polkadot (DOT) is in a downward correction as the altcoin consolidates above $8.00 support. Currently, the current support has been holding since May 12. On June 7, the altcoin resumed trading between $8.90 and $9.40.

Today, the cryptocurrency is trading at $9.16 at the time of writing. Nevertheless, the price movement was slow due to the presence of small, indecisive doji candles. If the price of DOT rises back above the $8.00 support, the bulls could break the 21-day line SMA and rally to the 50-day line SMA. If the bears fall below the $8.00 support, Polkadot will fall back to the previous low of $7.18.
