Polkadot rises 1.08% this week

Highlights

Polkadot remains in a sustained medium- and long-term bearish trend, trading well below major moving averages with no dynamic support present.
Technical momentum is strongly negative, as confirmed by multiple bearish indicators, including oversold readings and dominant seller power.
DOT is expected to consolidate between $0.77 and $0.92 over the next week, with a break below $0.77 likely signaling renewed downside risk.

Persistent bearish momentum as technicals confirm downside dominance this week

Weekly technicals confirm strong bearish momentum, with both MACD and ADX emphasizing downside pressure and a broadly negative trend. The RSI stands at 29.5 on the weekly chart, approaching oversold territory, while the Stochastic RSI appears neutral and the CCI signals oversold conditions. Bull/Bear Power remains negative, and DOT is still trading near the lower end of this week’s range amid 9.01% volatility. No dynamic weekly support is visible, and technical indicators collectively favor continued selling dominance.

Limited upside next week as technicals point to rangebound trading

For the next 7 days, technicals suggest DOT will likely consolidate between $0.77 and $0.92, aligned with the current volatility and strongly bearish signals from all key indicators. Upside potential is limited, with less than a 20% chance of a sustained advance in the absence of buy signals from weekly momentum measures. A rangebound scenario is the base case, but renewed pressure below $0.77 could trigger a deeper decline toward recent lows. Recovery attempts will face stiff resistance unless buying interest decisively returns above $0.92.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, Traders Union expert, sees Polkadot's performance this week as a clear test of market persistence. While the asset remains under strong downside pressure, he highlights a growing potential for buyers to step in as technical indicators approach oversold extremes. In his view, volatility and consolidation near $0.84 set the stage for an interesting week ahead, with resistance at $0.92 framing the next pivot. The macro backdrop and sentiment both lean cautious, yet any decisive momentum shift above $0.92 could signal the start of a new recovery wave. "The market is showing resilience despite challenges — I'm watching for a confident bullish response if DOT manages to reclaim resistance levels in the coming week."

Earlier, analysts noted that despite ETF exclusion, Polkadot was beginning to show signs of a potential inflection point and short-term resilience. The current weekly analysis, however, underscores a return to dominant bearish momentum and suggests traders should closely monitor for a possible breakdown below $0.77 as downside risk intensifies.
