DOT/USD Daily ChartPolkadot started a rebound from lows of $23 on Feb. 15. The DOT token traded to highs of $33.26 before a slight retreat. In the event of a sustained breakout past the $33.26 barrier, the DOT/USD pair could pick up momentum and rally to $40. The RSI in the overbought zone suggests an advantage to the bulls. On the flipside, Polkadot price gains have always been punctuated by a period of consolidation or minor pullback.
Therefore, a brief consolidation may ensue after this recent climb. A retest of the support at $23 may be quite likely if selling pressure intensifies. The trend will turn in favor of the bears following a breakdown in DOT price below the ascending trend line support at around $23. In this case, Polkadot may seek support at the MA 50 ($16.82).
DOT/USD 4-Hour ChartOn the 4-hour chart, Polkadot remains in an uptrend. The upsloping moving averages and the RSI in positive territory lend credence to this. A sustained break past the $33.26 barrier holds the key to an uptrend targeting $36 and then $40. On the flip side, if the price turns down from current levels due to significant resistance, the nearest support level is around $29.
The MA 50 at $27 is in line to offer support if a breakdown ensues. DOT bullish outlook will invalidate on a breakdown below the ascending trendline support. DOT may slide as low as $20 (MA 200). The DOT/USD pair stays bullish while trading above the $27 mark, key resistance is found at the $32 and $33 levels.
