It seems like the price is facing hurdles near $11.50-$11.60. It represents the 1.236 Fib extension level of the downward move from the $10.71 swing high to $7.18 low. It seems like there could be a downside correction from the $11.50 level.
On the downside, the previous breakout zone near the $10.70 and $10.50 levels could act as a strong support. Any more losses could lead the price towards the $9.00 support zone.
More Upsides?
If DOT price starts a fresh increase, it could easily clear the $11.50 and $11.60 resistance levels. The next major resistance on the upside could be near the $12.00 level.
A close above the $12.00 may possibly open the doors for a sustained upward move. In the stated case, the bulls might aim a test of the $15.00 level.
