Polkadot Price Forecast: DOT makes new all-time highs while technicals spell trouble

  • Polkadot price is at risk of a major correction as a key indicator presented a sell signal.
  • There isn’t a lot of support on the way down for DOT.
  • Nonetheless, the digital asset still aims for higher highs in the long-term.

Polkadot has once again established a new all-time high at $31.06 this time. The digital asset has exploded by almost 600% since December 23, 2020, reaching a massive market capitalization of $27 billion, close to Tether, which is currently ranked 3rd. 

Polkadot price will most likely see a correction before another leg up

On the daily chart, the TD Sequential indicator has just presented a sell signal right at the top. Polkadot price is poised for a healthy correction after a significant rally in the past two months.

The nearest support level is around $24.5, which is the 127.2% Fibonacci level after Polkadot price topped out at the 161.8% point. DOT can slide as low as $20 if bears pick up enough momentum.

To invalidate the bearish outlook, DOT bulls will have to establish a daily candlestick close above the recent high at $31.06. The next potential price target for Polkadot is $36.5 which is the 200% Fib level on the way up.
