On April 30th, the DOT sellers breached the $16 bottom support of a three-month-old consolidation range. The replenished selling momentum combined with the early May sell-off sank the coin price to a $7.34 low.

From the last swing high of $23.5, the downfall records a 69% loss. However, for nearly three weeks, the DOT price has witnessed a sideways rally suggesting uncertainty among the market participants.

This two-month downfall has responded to a descending trendline providing excellent short-selling opportunities for interested traders. Additionally, as the coin prices lateral walk nearing the resistance trendline, the traders may experience additional selling pressure.

The possible reversal could slump the DOT price to $7.34 support or even lower.

On the flip side, if the DOT price could breach the dynamic resistance trendline, the buyers could drive the price 142% higher to $23.5.
