Despite the breakout in the trading price of the crypto, the DOT price seems to be lacking momentum, as the price is not advancing to higher levels. 

If the buyers further dominate the crypto, and its price breaks above the recent consolidation zone followed by a good surge in the trading volume, a strong bullish momentum might be seen in the future.
