There was also a break above a crucial bearish trend line with resistance near $34.50 on the 4-hours chart of the DOT/USD pair. It is now trading nicely above the $35.00 support and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours).

An immediate resistance is near the $38.50 level. It is close to the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $42.20 swing high to $26.25 swing low. A clear break above the $38.50 and $38.80 resistance levels could lead the price towards the $40.00 level. The next key resistance sits near the $42.00 level.

Dips Supported?

If DOT price fails to continue higher above $38.50 or $39.00, there could be a short-term downside correction. The first key support is near the $36.00 and $35.00 levels.

The next major support is near the $33.50 level and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). Any more losses may perhaps open the doors for a move towards the $30.00 support zone.
