Expanded user access and integrations as new staking launches fuel adoption

Polkadot has launched zero-fee staking for DOT and Kusama through the global fintech platform Revolut, delivering 100% of on-chain staking rewards directly to users and expanding its reach among Revolut's 65 million-strong customer base. Additionally, the Web3 Foundation made its first direct move on treasury governance proposals, while Sig.Network integrated cross-chain capabilities with the Polkadot ecosystem. Ongoing adoption was highlighted in the Philippines via a Stablecoin Education Program using Polkadot technology and strategic product updates were unveiled during a Sub0 keynote, with trading volume over the past week hitting $194.83 million.

Persistent negative momentum as technicals show seller dominance and oversold signals

Momentum indicators remain bearish, with both the MACD and ADX giving automatic 'Sell' signals, confirming strong negative momentum and a pronounced directional trend. RSI at 32.8 and CCI at –121.5 point to oversold conditions, while Stoch RSI stands neutral. The Bull/Bear Power and Awesome Oscillator both underscore continued seller dominance intraday. DOT trades well under key averages, with the $2.857 Ichimoku Kijun as resistance and no immediate support below, illustrating price vulnerability.

Range-bound outlook as bearish bias restricts upside

Over the next five trading days, DOT is likely to remain within a $2.21–$2.31 range, consistent with a tight 5% band around current levels. Bearish momentum dominates and the probability of a meaningful upward move is under 20%. Trading is expected to remain sideways unless sellers push DOT below $2.21, while any bullish reversal would require a sustained move above $2.31–$2.36.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that DOT is mired below all key moving averages amid firm selling pressure and oversold momentum readings. He sees recent adoption news and product updates as having minimal immediate impact, with technicals outweighing sentiment for now. The analyst maintains a cautious view on DOT while the price sits under the $2.857 resistance and lacks clear support beneath current levels. "As long as DOT remains trapped below $2.31, I see little reason to bet on a bullish reversal here."

Previously, it was noted that technical signals continued to favor further declines for Polkadot, with indicators such as MACD, ADX, and RSI reflecting persistent bearish momentum.
