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.
