Polkadot gears up for BUIDLing summit at ETH Denver 2023

Polkadot is a network that enables blockchains to exchange messages and perform transactions without a trusted third-party. The DOT blockchain is gearing up for its lineup of events at ETH Denver 2023. Between February 28 and March 5, the Polkadot team has set a BUIDLing summit, conference program and community side events. 

The token’s team is preparing for a day full of talks and panels on all things Polkadot, featuring developers, and lead engineers in the ecosystem. 

DOT price is in an uptrend, targeting the $9 level

Polkadot’s native token DOT is in a short-term uptrend that started in January 2023. DOT price is in an ascending channel, where Polkadot’s native token recently tested the upper trendline as resistance at $7.74. 

DOT is changing hands at $6.94 and the trend remains bullish. The token is likely to rebound to the upper trendline and a break above $7.74 could trigger a run up to the $8.85 level, that represents a 23.6% Fibonacci Retracement. 

A continuation of DOT’s uptrend could push it to the $9 target.

A decline below the three Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), the 50, 100 and 200-day represented in the chart above, could invalidate the bullish thesis. The downside target is the lower trendline of the ascending channel at $6.45. 

Relative Strength Index (RSI), the momentum oscillator currently reads 39.13 and it is heading towards the oversold territory. This implies there is room for further price rally in DOT, the token may be currently undervalued.
