Polkadot price has successfully recovered on the weekly chart after
the altcoin moved above the $7 price mark. In a week, Polkadot grew
by almost 8%. Over the last 24 hours, the DOT price went north by
2%. Since Bitcoin consolidated underneath the $25,000 price,
several altcoins, including DOT, started to lose their price
momentum. The technical structure of DOT was bearish, but the
overall sentiment in the market was bullish. Related Reading:

BTC Demand for the altcoin noted a fall, but buyers still
outnumbered sellers at press time. For DOT to move into a bullish
price zone, the coin must register an increase in demand and
accumulation over the subsequent trading sessions. The Polkadot
price is trading 88% below its all-time high, secured in 2021. The
bulls can soon take over if DOT breaks past its immediate price
ceiling. On the other hand, if demand retreats further, the bears
might gain complete control over the price. Polkadot Price
Analysis: One-Day Chart DOT was trading at $7.08 at the time of
writing. The altcoin price was trading very close to its immediate
resistance mark. For the bulls to take control, DOT must rise above
$7.20 in the next trading session, or the coin will fall in value.
Once DOT breaks past the $7.20 mark, it may encounter another
resistance at $7.34, which has previously acted as a ceiling for
the altcoin. In the event of declining demand, the first stop for
Polkadot would be at $6.90 and then at $6.60, strengthening the
presence of bearish price action. The amount of DOT traded in the
last session was red, reflecting increased selling on the chart.
Technical Analysis The altcoin could not maintain momentum since it
visited the overbought zone. The Relative Strength Index noted a
downtick, but the indicator stood slightly below 60. This reading
meant that buyers remained in a favorable area although demand
fell. By the same, Polkadot’s price managed to hold it above the
20-Simple Moving Average (SMA) line. Trading above the 20-SMA means
that buyers continued to drive the price momentum in the market.
The technical outlook reflected that the bulls were trying to get
hold of the market. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence

further linked to an increase in price over the next trading
session. Related Reading: Stablecoins Market Cap Continues To Slump
