Polkadot (DOT) Price Bounces From Critical Support, Has It Bottomed?
The price of Polkadot (DOT) has rebounded from a significant support area and broken above a short-term range. However, it may only recover slightly or consolidate over the next few days.
Weekly Outlook
The price of Polkadot (DOT) has been decreasing since hitting a yearly high of $7.9 in February 2023. During this period, the price dropped to the support zone at $4.2 in early June and then rebounded.
This rebound has formed a morning star pattern (green ellipse) and a double bottom pattern when compared to the low created in December 2022.
Both of these patterns are bullish patterns and often lead to a reversal of the trend to the upside. They hold more significance when appearing on the weekly timeframe.
However, instead of initiating a strong upward trend in the following weeks, the price of DOT was rejected by the horizontal resistance at $5.7 in early July (red arrow). This is a bearish signal, indicating a lack of buying pressure at higher levels. Subsequently, the price dropped to the $4.2 support zone and confirmed it as support once again (green arrow).
There is a small positive sign that the weekly RSI has bounced off the bullish divergence. Additionally, the previous week’s candle had a long lower wick, a sign of buying pressure.
Considering the above, the DOT price is likely to experience a slight bounce before breaking below the $4,2 zone.
On the upside, the $5.7 zone will provide strong resistance when approached. Breaking below $4.2 will likely result in a rapid decline to the next significant support area at $3.6.
Short-Term Consolidation Range
The daily chart indicates that a minor recovery could take place in the next few days. This is because the DOT price broke out above the matching range of $4.3 to $4.57 yesterday.
The breakout candle is a bullish candle with a long lower wick, confirming that the bulls are controlling the price action in the short term.
The potential target for this recovery is $5, formed by the horizontal resistance and the descending long-term resistance line.
Conclusion
Technical signals suggest that the price of DOT could recover to $5 and potentially higher to $5.7 in the next few days. Thereafter, it is likely to continue falling and break below the $4,2 zone.
