Highlights

  • DOT/USD remains under persistent selling pressure, trading below key moving averages on all observed timeframes.
  • Momentum indicators broadly signal bearish control intraday, despite occasional pockets of buyer activity and some oscillator divergence.
  • The expected price range for the next 2–3 sessions is $0.921–$0.999, with a 64% probability of further declines.

Bearish momentum persists as support levels remain under threat

On the hourly chart, DOT is trading below the MA-20 ($0.988), MA-50 ($1.006), and the long-term MA-200 ($1.517). The nearest resistance is defined by the Ichimoku Kijun level at $1.005. Momentum remains negative as the MACD and ADX suggest continued downside risk, while the RSI stands at 39.733 and CCI confirms a sell bias. Stoch RSI and BBP indicate some sporadic buyer activity, but the dominant signals remain bearish. The Awesome Oscillator is neutral, and the presence of a minor gap and intraday volatility highlight prevailing uncertainty.

Downside risk dominates as volatility narrows trading range

Over the next 2–3 trading days, DOT is projected to trade within the $0.921 to $0.999 band, consistent with its current volatility. The baseline scenario favors further consolidation within this range, with a 64% probability of additional downside and a 36% chance of a bullish reversal. A close above immediate resistance could trigger short covering, while a drop below support may accelerate the prevailing downtrend.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Polkadot (DOT) locked in a clear downtrend below all major moving averages. He notes that most technical indicators remain bearish, with only minor signs of buyer activity. Kharitonov remains cautious given the persistent negative momentum and lack of supportive news. "For now, as long as DOT stays below key resistance at $1.005, the risk remains tilted to the downside and I remain defensive."

Previously, analysts noted that Polkadot remained locked in a bearish outlook, with technical indicators pointing toward persistent downside risks. The latest intraday developments reinforce this narrative, and traders should monitor for a decisive move below current support, which could signal increased momentum toward further declines.
