Polkadot Trades Marginally, Unable to Sustain Above the Overhead Resistance at $34

The price of Polkadot (DOT) has risen to a high of $33.80, but the bullish momentum has not been sustained. In the last 48 hours, DOT/USD has been fluctuating below the $34 resistance level.

Buyers have made concerted efforts to break above the resistance level. Polkadot has reached the overbought area of the market. Therefore, further upward movement is limited.

However, the price of DOT is likely to fall when the sellers show up in the overbought region. On the downside, the market will fall to the low of $30 if the altcoin is rejected at the recent high.
