Polkado Price Prediction: DOT is at risk of falling 50% if critical support breaks


  • DOT is currently trading at $4.04 right at the top of an important trendline on the daily chart.
  • Rejection from this level into a breakout of the crucial support below can send DOT into a 50% correction.

Polkadot has been trading fairly sideways for the past month after reaching a massive market capitalization of $5.16 billion right after it started trading on September 3. Nonetheless, the digital currency is still ranked 8th at a $3.45 billion market cap.

Can DOT defend this significant support level to avoid slipping further?

Polkadot has established what seems to be a descending triangle on the daily chart. The upper boundary of this pattern has rejected the price of DOT several times in the past on September 18, October 10, and on five more occasions since then.

The price is currently right at the upper boundary of the pattern again. Another rejection can easily drive the price towards the support at $3.58, but most importantly, a breakout below this point can send DOT into a 50% correction down to $1.8.

Despite the pessimistic outlook on the daily chart, the hourly chart has flipped in favor of the bulls after the price climbed above the 50-SMA and the 100-SMA, and more recently the 200-SMA. The MACD also turned bullish around 12 hours ago and it’s gaining strength.

The confirmed hourly uptrend after several higher lows and higher highs gives buyers a lot of strength in the short-term. Of course, a bullish breakout from the daily descending triangle pattern will have the same consequences but to the upside towards $4.5.

The descending triangle formed on the daily chart is by far the most important pattern to keep in mind. A bearish breakout below the support level at $3.58 can easily drive the price of DOT down to $1.8, approximately a 50% pullback.

On the other hand, bulls are taking control over the short-term timeframes. Similarly, a breakout above the upper trendline of the triangle pattern can push DOT towards a high of $4.5, where the 50-SMA on the daily chart is established currently.

Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, has gained interest from not only retail traders but also institutions over the past year. The key catalyst for its abrupt rise to fame in recent times has been its much-anticipated upgrade Ethereum 2.0. ETH/BTC ratio has almost tripled in the last 6 months. What does this mean for the altcoin in the long term? While many showcased their bullish optimism in the space, few skeptics weren’t shy to say otherwise. Reality check Ethereum, like other alts, suffered a major price correction. At press time, it was trading at the $2,334 price level; it did however witness a surge of a mere 1% in 24 hours. As per the On-chain analyst platform Glassnode’s recent tweet, In a recent interview, CEO of Nvidia Jensen Huang spoke about Ethereum’s impressive rise. He stated: “It’s now established that Ethereum is going to be quite valuable. There’s a future where the processing of these transactions can be a lot faster, and because there are so many people built on top of it now, Ethereum is going to be valuable.” When asked if he was excited about proof of stake? The CEO was quick to acknowledge this: “Am I excited about proof of stake? The answer’s yes. I believe that the demand for Ethereum has reached such a high level that it would be nice for either somebody to come up with an ASIC that does it, or for there to be another method… There’s a lot of credibility. It works well. A lot of people depend on it for DeFi and other things. This is a great time for proof of stake to come. While projecting a bullish sentiment about Ethereum, he further reiterated the same for the entire crypto space. He added: “I believe that cryptocurrency is here to stay. It’s a legitimate way that people want to exchange value.” Furthermore, he said: “More important, Ethereum and other forms like it in the future are excellent distributed blockchain methods for securing transactions.” It’s because of this vote of confidence in this sphere, his billion-dollar company Nvidia created a new product called CMP. As per the official announcement, “This fresh off-the-line product is designed for professional crypto mining.”
