Indicators

The 50-MA of a 4-hour chart is still above the price of DOT, suggesting that the overall trend is still bearish and that the price of DOT could decline in the coming weeks. The 20-MA of a 4-hour chart, however, is now below the price, indicating that the short-term trend is bullish and that DOT could increase in the coming days.
The 9-EMA of a 4-hour chart is also currently below the price, indicating that the shorter-term trend is bullish and that the EMA line could act as support to the price of DOT.
Relative Strength Index
The RSI of a 4-hour chart was recently below 30, indicating that DOT became oversold. Hence, the recent increase was anticipated. The RSI is now approaching 70, and it indicates that there is a lot of buying pressure for DOT in the 4-hour chart.
MACD
The MACD line of a 40hour chart is above the signal line, meaning that the momentum is bullish. Nonetheless, it is still below the baseline, so this momentum should continue for DOT to have a chance for a reversal.
Fibonacci
The Fibonacci retracement levels of a 4-hour chart suggest that the price of DOT may face resistance at the 61.8% level, where it also coincides with previous resistance levels. If DOT fails to break that level, then the price could retrace further down to the projected support.
Price Prediction DOT – February 2022
Based on this technical analysis on Polkadot (DOT), the price of DOT could keep increasing in the short run. It may face strong resistance at $20, which could prove to be crucial for the coming weeks. If DOT manages to break that level, then it could reverse the trend and aim higher in the coming weeks. The price could go as high as $30 in February. However, if it fails to do so, then the price could retrace and find support at around $18. Nonetheless, a breakout could occur. Judging by the recent head and shoulders pattern, the neckline also coincides with our projected resistance. Hence, breaking that structure could prove to be key for Polkadot.
