Polkadot Fiddles With Important Moving Average

BINANCE:DOTUSDT   DOT / TetherUS
-DOT pushes 40% off weekly low
-Price is still stuck within a descending channel
-200MA has continued to act as resistance

Polkadot has been flat the last few days as prices have stalled near important resistance. The overall cryptocurrency market has pushed very strong off lows, a type of revival not seen in months. Over the last year, DOT has earned a spot in the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap. As long as BTC continues in a bullish manner, DOT should push back near the $20 mark.

For the past two months, DOT has been trading within a descending channel formation (shown in blue). Each trend of this channel has been very important to price action as it continuously has gotten rejected. Just over the past week, Polkadot has been trying to reach this top trend. Price has been getting stopped at a major resistance of $14.72. Once bulls clear this mark, price will likely push to major resistance zone of $16.30-$17.26.

In the case bulls fail to break & hold this resistance, DOT will likely fall to major support of $13.00. The next major support will be found at around $11.00. We have to keep in mind that the 200MA has continuously acted as resistance for over 2 months. This will be a large barrier DOT must tackle for prices to be in much safer waters.

While looking at the RSI, we can see that strength has formed a bull flag right below the overbought territory. This is a bullish sign that bulls have strength for another push. The RSI must break above the 70 line to experience a rally. The MACD is not telling much as it has been going sideways for some time. This indicates a larger move is on the horizon.
