Polkadot Retraces and Consolidates Above $20, May Resume Uptrend

Polkadot (DOT) is falling back after reaching the high of $23. The bulls previously broke through the $19 and $20 resistance levels, but could not overcome the $23 resistance.

Buyers were pushed back after retesting the resistance zone twice. Today the market fell to a low above $20, but the bulls bought the dips. 

Support at $20 was previous resistance and buyers are desperately trying to resist further selling pressure. On the upside, if the crypto price holds above the $20 support, the DOT price will resume its upward movement and retest the previous highs. On the other hand, if the bears break the $20 support, the market will fall back to the previous low at $16, i.e. the downward correction will continue.
