The main resistance is near the $7.80 and $7.85 levels. A successful break above $7.80 and a close above $7.80 could start a strong rally. In the stated case, the price could easily rally towards $8.50 or even $9.20 in the coming sessions.
Dips Limited?
If DOT price fails to continue higher above $7.20 or $7.40, it could continue to move down. The first key support is near the $7.00 level. The next major support is near the $6.80 level and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours).
It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $5.88 swing low to $7.89 high, below which the price might decline to $6.60. Any more losses may perhaps open the doors for a move towards the $6.00 support zone.
