POLKADOT Price Analysis 10-19: DOT Recovers, Is A Move Past $4.50 On The Cards?

Polkadot (DOT) has made a substantial recovery over the past couple of sessions, having pushed above the 20 and 50-day SMAs. It is currently trading around the $4.40 mark.

DOT is up almost 4% over the past 24 hours, with indicators showing the potential for a further increase. This means we could see the $4.50 level tested once again.

Polkadot (DOT) Recap

Polkadot (DOT) ended the previous week on a bearish note, something it hopes to avoid this week. DOT fell to a low of $4.09 last Sunday before settling at $4.16, a decline of 0.95%. The current week started on a very positive note for DOT, as it registered an increase of 5.05% to push above the 20 and 50-day SMAs and settle at $4.37. With DOT above the moving averages, DOT experienced significant volatility on Tuesday as sellers attempted to drag the price back below the 20 and 50-day SMAs while buyers attempted to push above $4.50. DOT eventually settled at $4.41 after reaching a day high of $4.53, an increase of 0.92%.

Buyers lost momentum on Wednesday as DOT fell back in the red, dropping by 2.04% to $4.32. However, buyers managed to keep the price above the 20 and 50-day SMAs. Selling pressure intensified on Thursday as sellers dragged DOT below the moving averages, with the price eventually dropping by just over 3% to settle at $4.19, but not before falling to a low of $4.15.

Another Substantial Recovery

After registering a significant decline on Wednesday and Thursday, DOT made a strong recovery on Friday, rising by 2.63% to push back above the 20 and 50-day SMAs and settle at $4.30. DOT’s recovery has continued during the ongoing session, with the price reaching an initial day high of $4.48 before dropping back. It is currently up by just over 2% and trading around the $4.39 price level. With buyers currently having momentum, we could see DOT push back towards $4.50 once again during the ongoing session. If buyers can push above this level, DOT could move to $5.

However, if DOT is rejected from this level again, we can expect the price to drop back to $4. Polkadot is showing potential for a jump, with the MACD indicating that bulls have the upper hand for now. DOT’s RSI is also currently at $53, a level that is not close to overbought, giving it plenty of room for a price jump before a correction could kick in.
