How to Buy DASH

DASH Price Support

DASH tumbled by 14.15% on Monday, reversing Sunday’s 2.35% with interest, to end the day at $143.989.

A relatively range bound start to the day saw DASH come up short of the first major resistance level at $170.96, with an early morning intraday high $170, which came off the back of upward momentum through the second half of the day on Sunday, rather than a particularly bullish start to the week.

Tracking the broader cryptomarket, DASH managed to avoid testing the day’s first major support level at $163.5 through the remainder of the morning, in spite of a pullback from the day’s high, with an early afternoon broad based market sell-off doing the damage.

DASH tumbled through the day’s three major support levels to an intraday low and new swing low $143, with no late recovery to provide hope of an early morning recovery on Tuesday.

The moves through the day reaffirmed the extended bearish trend formed at late April’s swing hi $547.97, with DASH not only striking a new swing lo $143, but also failing to recover through the day’s third major support level at $151.82, the new swing lo the lowest level hit by DASH since last July.

At the time of writing, DASH was down 2.94% to $139.836, with DASH sliding to a morning low and new swing lo $132.95, before recovering to $139 levels, the morning low seeing DASH fall through the first major support level at $134.66.

For the day ahead, a move back through to $140 levels would provide some support and bring the start of the day $143.2 into play, though for DASH to break through and hold on to $140 levels, sentiment across the broader market will need to improve through the morning.

Failure to break back through to $140 levels will likely see DASH pullback through the morning low $132.95 to bring sub-$130 levels and the day’s second major support level at $125.33 into play, though barring dire news hitting the wires that leads to a panic sell-off, we will expect DASH end the day at $130 levels.
