Can DOT Sustain This Rally?

It is worth noting that Polkadot bulls have to overcome several hurdles before completing the recovery spelt by the V-shaped pattern. Currently, DOT faces immediate resistance at $13.16 which could force the Polkadot price to retrace back to the support level around $12.5 before starting another recovery.

Overcoming this hurdle will pitch the asset against other resistance levels at the 100-day Simple Moving Average ($13.7), $14.2 resistance level and the 200-day SMA at $14.7.

Note that bulls have to defend the immediate support at $12 and ensure a daily closure above the $13.16 resistance level. If this happens, bulls will be bolstered to overcome the said hurdles and test the $15 psychological level and beyond to the target at $15.7. This represents approximately 21% rise from the current price.

A look on the Other Side

Failure to close the day above $13.16  could invalidate the bullish rally and force a correction in a downward move. If this happens, Polkadot will forced to re-test the $13 and $11.8 support levels. Further retractions could see DOT re-visit the July 20 low at $10.3.

The possibility of this bearish outlook is validated by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) by its downward movement towards the midline.

Investors might have to wait for more crypto signals to see what happens to the Polka dot price before making any move in the near term.
