Polkadot is beginning to weaken, not only in itself, but particularly in comparison to that of Bitcoin.

As we've discussed at length here on TW, Bitcoin continues to show some bullish sentiment due to its recent technical breakout in MARA/BTC. As long as this pertains, we'll stick with the majority of our position in Marathon Digital Holdings.

60 percent of my portfolio is currently in Marathon. The remaining 40 percent is spread out in alts. With that said, I might consider reallocating a good chunk of those alts into Marathon as a few of them show emerging weakness, both individually, but even more so when directly compared to Bitcoin.

On the Poladot versus Bitcoin chart, the price was once again rejected by the horizontal resistance zone - and this after a minor fakeout. On top of that, the price has recently dropped below the diagonal support as well and is presently trading in a weak spot.

And to add fire to the flames, we also have a 3-point RSI divergence on the daily chart.


If this bearish internal trend were to continue, it naturally doesn't mean the price of Polkadot may go down. All it means is that Polkadot will then be expected to under perform versus that of Bitcoin.

Let's then dig a bit deeper to find more clues of the overall market health condition.

If we proceed to look at Polkadot itself (as in compared to the USD), we can firstly detect that it's trading right at the horizontal support zone. On top of that, the RSI looks strong too and for two reasons.

Firstly, it has retraced quite much - by almost 20 points to be precise - from a mere and seeming price correction.


Secondly, it is still trading within a strong bullish red RSI channel.


So far it shows every sign of health. This in combination with the strong horizontal support zone and the thus far strong bull trend gives me no reason whatsoever to be bearish on Polkadot. Quite the opposite!

This means that if we put the just-turned-bearish DOT/BTC next to the nicely and bullish-looking DOT/USD we can technically conclude that Polkadot's trend is up, but that it is yet statistically bound to under perform versus that of Bitcoin. This in turn leaves us with the conclusion that Bitcoin is even more bullish.

To further add weight to our technical case - as in to further increase the probability of being correct - we will soon proceed to compare more individual alts and their respective strength-relationship to that of Bitcoin.

But for now, it's Bitcoin season 1 - altcoin season 0, yet with both looking technically bullish regardless.
