Highlights

DOT/USD trades above short- and medium-term moving averages but remains below the longer-term trend barrier.
Price has risen 7.87% to $0.85 with buyers dominating intraday action and strong upward momentum confirmed by multiple signals.
DOT/USD is likely to consolidate within $0.821 to $0.879 over the next 2 to 3 days, with a high probability of continued gains and a low chance of near-term reversal.

Bullish momentum as price overcomes near-term resistance

On the hourly chart, DOT has surpassed the MA-20 at $0.837 and the MA-50 at $0.803, while remaining beneath the MA-200 set at $1.149. The Ichimoku Kijun level at $0.819 marks immediate support. Momentum indicators on this timeframe show MACD in Strong Buy and ADX in Buy, supported by an RSI of 66.101 inside Buy territory and CCI also flashing Buy. Stoch RSI is currently in the oversold region, and Bull/Bear Power continues to indicate that buyers control the intraday action, although the Awesome Oscillator is neutral.

Further gains likely as bullish bias outweighs downside risk

Looking ahead to the next 2 to 3 trading days, DOT/USD is likely to trade within a $0.8210.879 volatility band relative to current levels. The short-term probability favors further gains, while the likelihood of a downward reversal is minimal. As long as the price remains above immediate support, a consolidation phase is probable, but an advance past resistance could initiate a new upward impulse. A bearish scenario would only be triggered if DOT falls below the Ichimoku Kijun level, resulting in a potential shift against recent bullish momentum.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, analyst at Traders Union, notes that Polkadot (DOT) has shown strong momentum, outperforming short- and medium-term averages while buyers sustain control in the current environment. He believes the absence of negative news and stable macro conditions support further optimism, with technical signals backing a bullish scenario above immediate support levels. Karapetjanc sees minimal risk of a downward reversal in the near term. "As long as DOT holds above $0.819, I expect bulls to remain in control and the uptrend to persist," he says.

Earlier, analysts noted that Polkadot’s short-term outlook was increasingly bullish on the back of anticipated tokenomics changes and developer activity despite conflicting momentum signals. The current analysis not only confirms that buyers remain in control but also highlights the importance of the $0.819 Ichimoku Kijun level as a pivotal threshold for signaling any potential shift against the current upward bias.
