- Summary:
- Polkadot price has been on a downtrend since early November. The trend may continue in the short term amid the ongoing risk aversion.
Polkadot price has erased Thursday’s gains as extreme fear grips the market. In the previous session, the crypto fear & greed index was at a fear level of 29. Notably, the emotion has intensified in Friday’s session at a reading of 23.
Subsequently, the trend observed in Polkadot is observable in other cryptocurrencies. For instance, Bitcoin has remained below the psychologically crucial level of $50,000. The trend will likely continue in the short term.
Polkadot price prediction
DOT has edged lower after pulling back from Thursday’s high of 27.79. The altcoin has been on a downtrend since early November when it hit its all-time high at 55.28.
At the time of writing, Polkadot price was down by 3.77% at 25.03. On a four-hour chart, it is trading below the 25 and 50-day exponential moving averages. It is also below the long-term 200-day EMA.
In the short term, I expect the crypto to remain under pressure. It may trade within a horizontal channel of between the week’s low of 24.31 and along the 50-day EMA at 27.50. Below the range’s lower border, the bears will be eyeing a 5-month low of 20.00.
On the upside, a move above the upper border will likely place the resistance level at 30.02. However, as long as it remains below the 200-day EMA at 33.20, Polkadot price will remain in a bear market.
