However, it could not move past this level and saw a significant drop on Tuesday, falling below the 200-day SMA and settling at $7.36.

After retracing to this level, DOT has managed to reverse the bearish trend during the ongoing session after finding support at the $7 level. Currently, the price is up by 1% and is trading at $7.04.
Another Decline For Polkadot (DOT)?
As we can see from the Polkadot (DOT) price chart, the asset is currently confined within a decisive range, the upper end of which sits at $7.60, while the lower end sits at the $6.40 support level. Any significant price movement would require DOT to move beyond these price levels. Currently, DOT is trading just above the $7 mark. Should buyers retake control of the current session, we could see DOT move to $7.20 and then to $7.50, where the 200-day SMA could act as resistance.

However, if sellers push DOT below $7, it could drop to its support level of $6.40. To summarize, DOT stands at a critical point. A failure to stay above its current support levels could cause DOT to register significant declines. If the price stays above $7, we could see some sideways consolidation before yet another potential recovery, but whether DOT can break out of its current price range remains to be seen.
