An immediate resistance is near the $6.20 level. It is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $6.71 swing high to $5.75 low. A successful break above $6.20 and a close above $6.25 could start a strong rally. In the stated case, the price could easily rally towards $6.50 or even $6.80 in the coming sessions.
Dips Limited?
If DOT price fails to continue higher above $6.15 or $6.20, it could start a downside correction. The first key support is near the $6.05 level.
The next major support is near the $6.00 level, below which the price might decline to $5.75. Any more losses may perhaps open the doors for a move towards the $5.50 support zone in the coming sessions.
