$DOT “is accumulating like a compressed spring, when it will explode is unpredictable.”
⸻
🧠 DOTUSDT chart analysis (1D timeframe):
1. Overview of the trend:
DOT is moving within a wide accumulation range from 3.60 to 5.40, with many bounces – drops continuously over the past 3 months. The current price (4.539) is in the middle of the range, recently bouncing off the Ichimoku cloud and may be in a compression phase before the next breakout.
⸻
2. Ichimoku Cloud – Uncertain phase:
• The price is trading just above the thin Kumo cloud (4.40–4.50) – unclear sign about the trend.
• Tenkan and Kijun are close together, indicating the market is waiting for a new direction.
• Chikou Span just crossed the candle → a preliminary sign for upward momentum, but needs further confirmation.
=> Ichimoku shows DOT is at the boundary between breakout and continuing sideways.
⸻
3. MACD – Preparing to shift phase?
• MACD and Signal line are close together, histogram is gradually narrowing.
• No strong downward crossover signal yet, but upward momentum is gradually weakening → a potential short-term reversal or accumulation before making a decision.
==> MACD shows hesitation between buyers and sellers, the market is in the 'calm before the storm.'
⸻
4. Volume Profile – Money is standing outside observing:
• The highest trading volume is concentrated in the 4.00–4.20 range (POC price zone).
• Recently, volume spiked but hasn't created a clear price breakout → possibility that whales are accumulating before a breakout opportunity.
⸻
🔭 Strategic view:
DOT is repeating a wide sideways pattern, testing the 5.40 area multiple times without breaking through. However, the current price area is attractive to 'get ahead of the crowd' if the BTC market doesn't break down and altcoin money flows back.
⸻
🧨 Proposed trading scenario:
• Entry: around 4.50
• Short-term expected TP: 5.40 (strong resistance zone + previous high volume)
• Stop-loss: 4.00 (below the Kumo cloud + strong support zone)
⸻
📌 Note:
• Setup leans towards range-bound sideways trading, suitable for low volatility market conditions.
• If DOT breaks above the 5.40 area with high volume, TP could extend to 6.20.
• Need to closely monitor BTC's movements – if BTC breaks below 66k, DOT could test back at 4.00 or lower.
