After a steady decline, DOT price found support near the $6.65 zone. A low was formed at $6.64 and Polkadot recently started a fresh increase.

There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance near $7.80 on the 4-hour chart of the DOT/USD pair. The pair even surpassed the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $9.58 swing high to the $6.64 low.

A successful break above $8.88 could start another strong rally. In the stated case, the price could easily rally toward $9.50 in the near term. The next major resistance is seen near the $10.00 zone.

If DOT price fails to start a fresh increase above $8.45, it could start a fresh decline. The first key support is near the $7.80 level and the same trend line. 
The next major support is near the $7.50 level, below which the price might decline to $7.00. Any more losses may perhaps open the doors for a move toward the $6.65 support zone.
