Polkadot Declines Marginally as It Continues to Make Lower Highs and Lower Lows

Polkadot (DOT) is in a downward correction as the cryptocurrency's price has a series of lower highs and lower lows. Today, DOT reaches a lower high and retests the 21-day line SMA.

On the upside, the bulls have not crossed the 21-day line SMA since April 11. In other words, the 21-day line SMA has put the brakes on further upward movement of the cryptocurrency. If Polkadot turns away from the 21-day line SMA, the altcoin will fall to the current support at $6.37. However, if the selling pressure continues, the altcoin will drop further to a low of $5.60. On the other hand, if the current support holds, the cryptocurrency will fluctuate between $6.37 and $7.25.
