Polkadot price had touched the $8 price level before the bulls lost steam and fell on the one-day chart. DOT travelled 3.6% lower in the last 24 hours on its chart.
Over the past week, DOT had gained some value, but most of that was nullified at press time.
The Polkadot price was making a recovery over the last two days as it had declined before that. Buyers had stepped in during the recovery period.
At the time of writing, however, buyers had exited the market again. The technical outlook for the coin was bearish, with sellers taking over the market.
The support zone for Polkadot price stood between $6.16 and $5.52. A fall below the $5.52 mark could bring DOT down below the $5 mark.
As Bitcoin’s bulls fizzled out in the market, most altcoins that registered gains also started to lose their bullish momentum.
If demand for DOT increases on its chart, the coin can attempt to revisit its immediate resistance mark. If buying power continues to fall, DOT will return to its local price support line.
