Polkadot Price Signal Reversal From Major Support

The crypto market recorded a notable correction in the past two weeks amid recent recession fears and a notable sell-off in traditional markets. The selling pressure plunged most of the major cryptocurrencies, including Polkadot (DOT), into aggressive downfall.

In the daily chart, Polkadot price fell from $6.47 to $3.6, registering a loss of 44.55%. The aforementioned support has been intact since October 2020, and the bottom was the last correction trend before the 233% rally.

The long-tail rejection candle highlights sustained demand pressure at the $3.6 support level, boosting altcoin by 26% to $4.5. Consequently, the Polkadot’s market cap surged to $6.68 billion.

In addition, the Relative strength index (RSI) indicator, at 29%, indicates that this DOT coin trades in oversold regions. This discounted value would attract more traders and could drive a 16% rally to $5.3 to challenge the downsloping trendline.

The on-chain data from The Block indicates a notable recovery in network growth activity for Polkadot. The number of unique addresses on the Polkadot Relay Chain (7-day moving average) increased from 956 to 1,100 within a week, reflecting a growth of approximately 15%. 

Additionally, the number of active addresses on the Polkadot Relay Chain (7-day moving average) surged from 5,630 to 7,030, marking a rise of about 25%. 

These increases indicate enhanced user engagement, growing network activity, and potentially greater adoption and utilization of the Polkadot ecosystem.

On a contrary note, broader selling pressure in broader markets persists, which could bolster sellers’ rechallenge of the $3.6 bottom. A potential breakdown below will signal the continuation of the downtrend and may plunge Polkadot price by 18% to hit $3 psychological support.
