Polkadot declines 6.53% this week

Highlights

DOT trades well below key moving averages, confirming strong medium- and long-term downside momentum.
Momentum and trend indicators confirm dominant bearish sentiment, with oversold conditions persisting and no buy signals evident.
DOT likely consolidates between $0.75 and $0.91 over the next week, with further declines possible if support fails.

Deepening bearish momentum confirmed as technical signals reinforce downtrend

Weekly technical analysis reveals that DOT is trading significantly below all major moving averages (MA-20, MA-50, and MA-200), acting as dynamic resistance. Weekly indicators reinforce the bearish sentiment: the MACD issues a strong sell signal, ADX is elevated at 31.24 (indicating a powerful downtrend), and momentum oscillators like RSI and CCI are both in oversold territory. Stochastic RSI sits at 0, and both Bull/Bear Power and the Awesome Oscillator confirm ongoing seller control.

Limited recovery odds next week amid sustained bearish bias

Looking ahead to the next 7 days, DOT is expected to remain under pressure with a probable trading range of $0.75 – $0.91, aligned with recent volatility and prevailing bearish signals on the weekly chart. There is a very low likelihood (below 20%) of a meaningful recovery given that none of the key weekly indicators point to a buy. The baseline scenario points to sideways consolidation between $0.75 and $0.91; however, a break below $0.75 could trigger further declines, while a move above $0.91, though unlikely, is needed to begin to reverse the current downtrend.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees Polkadot having faced a notable pullback this week, but believes opportunities are forming for forward-looking traders. Despite DOT remaining below its key weekly moving averages and facing pronounced bearish momentum, Karapetjanc highlights that oversold conditions and high volatility may open the door for active positioning within the projected $0.75–$0.91 range. He notes that no major recovery signals have emerged yet, but emphasizes that consolidation periods often precede renewed activity and setups for reversal. Karapetjanc favors a constructive stance, looking for early signs of reversal as strong trends tend to attract renewed market interest. "With many technical indicators now deeply oversold, I see this week as an ideal environment for planning entries in anticipation of any bullish catalyst—maintaining readiness for a potential shift in sentiment."

Earlier, analysts noted that Polkadot was under persistent downward pressure, with bearish momentum dominating the outlook. The current weekly analysis reinforces this view and highlights that any sustained move above $0.91 would be required to meaningfully challenge the prevailing downtrend in the days ahead.
