$DOT #DOT_UPDATE 📉 Overall Trend Summary:
Long-term Trend: Strong downtrend since November 2021
Current Price: ~$3.35
Key Support: ~$3.60 (being tested or broken)
Key Resistance: ~$6.00 – $7.00 (previous local highs)
🔍 Detailed Observations:
1. Historical Context:
DOT peaked near $55 in 2021 during the last bull market.
It has since formed a macro downtrend, with successive lower highs and lower lows.
Price has dropped over 93% from its ATH.
2. Support Zone Testing:
The current level is around $3.30–$3.60 is a multi-year support zone from 2020 and 2023.
Price is currently testing this critical support. A weekly close below ~$3.30 would be bearish and could open the door for:
$2.80
Or worst-case capitulation to ~$2.00–$2.50 range
3. Volume and Market Structure:
Volume is low, suggesting reduced retail and institutional interest.
No signs of a strong reversal yet (like bullish divergence or a bottoming pattern).
4. Macro Factors:
This long sideways pattern may be accumulation, especially if Bitcoin is in a transition phase (e.g., pre-bull cycle).
Altcoins like DOT tend to lag BTC in recovery, so early reversal signs will likely depend on BTC strength above $70k.

📊 Possible Scenarios:
✅ Bullish Case (less likely short term):
Price reclaims $3.60 and confirms a false breakdown (bear trap)
Breaks above $5.50–$6.00 = trigger for possible rally to $8–10
Would require broad crypto market recovery or Polkadot ecosystem news
❌ Bearish Case (more likely near term):
Weekly close below $3.30 leads to flush down
Targets: $2.80 → $2.50 → long-term demand zone near $2.00

🧠 Strategy Thoughts:
For long-term investors: This is potentially a high-risk, high-reward accumulation zone, especially for those who believe in Polkadot's tech and long-term adoption.
For traders: Avoid entering until:
Clear reclaim of support ($3.60+)
OR signs of bullish divergence on RSI/MACD
