Yaz Sheikh Sep 14, 2021 15:45
The price for DOT rests at a three-month high as the bulls managed to push it with 9% over the past seven days.

DOT/USD – DOT Breaks Bearish .618 Fib.

Key Support Levels: $35.30, $32.55, $30.
Key Resistance Levels: $38.65, $40, $42.10.

DOT surged above resistance at $30 toward the end of August as it started to climb higher in the first week of September to reach resistance at $35.30 (bearish .618 Fib). However, it could not overcome this level and ended up falling into the 200-day MA around $27.50 during the market crash last week.

Since then, DOT solidified the support at the 200-day MA and started to climb higher again. On Sunday, it surged above $35.30 and closed over the resistance. After a brief retracement to $32.50 yesterday, DOT has finally surged well above $35.30 to reach near $38 today.
