The monthly chart shows the long-term structure
Polkadot’s monthly chart shows a prolonged descending channel beginning after the 2021 peak. Price continues respecting both resistance and support trendlines, indicating sustained bearish pressure.
However, narrowing volatility and repeated rebounds near support suggest weakening sellers, possible accumulation, and a long-term reversal phase near current levels.
According to the crypto analyst Hailey LUNC XRP, Crucial support is seen at the level of $1.20 to $1.50, which is where supply and channel resistance meet each other.
Maintaining this area will set the bulls into motion on a move towards $3, $5.5, and even $11.5. A break above descending resistance will signal better market sentiment among investors.
The bullish expectation is for a break above the $24 resistance area, which will provide significant gains from present prices.
Volume at recent lows suggests that more powerful bulls are accumulating positions. However, a breakdown below the $1.20 support level will nullify this view and solidify bearish sentiments.
RSI and MACD momentum signal shift
From an indicator perspective, RSI (14) is presently at 36.97, and its moving average is 32.42. The current RSI value is still less than the neutral zone of 50, implying low momentum and insufficient buyer power for DOT.
Yet, the rising trend in the RSI value from the oversold area of 30 indicates that sellers could have lost their hold.
MACD stands at 0.07986 on the histogram, with the MACD line and signal line standing at -0.36966 and -0.44953, respectively.
While both lines are still below the zero level, their improvement in direction towards each other indicates strengthening bullish momentum. Positive bars on the histogram provide further evidence for such an observation.
