Polkadot Price Holds Support

The next major resistance is near $7.80. A successful break above $7.80 could start another strong rally. In the stated case, the price could easily rally toward $8.20 in the near term. The next major resistance is seen near the $8.50 zone.
More Downsides in DOT?
If DOT price fails to start a fresh increase above $7.70, it could continue to move down. The first key support is near the $7.40 level and the trend line.
