Polkadot price sets the stage for a 36% rally as DOT bulls conquer critical hurdle

  • Polkadot price has recovered inside the $6.36 to $8.79 range, hinting at an incoming uptrend.
  • Investors can expect a 17% northbound move to tag the midpoint at $7.57, which could extend to $8.79 in a highly bullish case.
  • Invalidation of the bullish thesis will occur if DOT produces a daily candlestick close below $6.09. 

Polkadot price shows signs of recovery as it conquers a key hurdle. This development could be the beginning of a steady uptrend to levels last seen in August 2022. 

Polkadot price hints at a bullish future

Polkadot price created the $6.36 to $8,79 range in June 2022, and has been hovering below it for quite some time. The last two bullish moves to get back into the range failed and the latest attempt from buyers seems to be working as DOT looks primed for a leg-up. 

The first level of target for Polkadot price is the range’s midpoint at $7,57, which would constitute a 17% ascent. However, a flip of this barrier could extend the journey of DOT bulls to $8.79, bringing the total gain to 36%.

Therefore, investors need to keep a close eye on Polkadot price as it could kick-start an impressive upswing soon.

Regardless of the recent entry into the $6.36 to $8,79 range, Polkadot price needs to hold its ground. A failure to do so could signal a weak buyer camp. If DOT flips the $6.09 support level into a resistance barrier, it would create a lower low and invalidate the bullish thesis.

Such a development could see Polkadot price crash to $5.63.

 Top 3 Price Prediction: BTC consolidates gains, ETH defends support, XRP nears breakout trigger

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple begin the week on a constructive note as the top three cryptocurrencies attempt to extend rebounds after recovering nearly 4%, 2% and 2.6%, respectively. BTC steadies around $65,600, ETH continues to hold firmly above the key $1,700 support, while XRP nears the upper boundary of the falling channel pattern.

Ethereum Price Forecast: ETH struggles below $1,700 amid subdued on-chain users and capital outflows

Ethereum rises, albeit gradually, toward $1,700. The smart contract token reflects a marginal increase in buyers seeking to re-engage at lower price levels, following the massive drawdown from mid-May, which was largely driven by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and macroeconomic uncertainty.

XRP clings to support as derivatives interest cools

Ripple hangs on to $1.14 support, extending its rebound from its early-week support at $1.10 and June’s low of $1.05. Maintaining this short-term support level is vital for the remittance token to preserve its bullish momentum, with a decisive breakout above $1.20 likely to signal further upside potential.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP recovery slows amid incessant capital outflows
The cryptocurrency remains in a broader corrective bias on Friday, despite majors such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple (XRP) holding slightly higher than early-week support levels. Bitcoin hovers around $63,500 amid a capped upside. Ethereum eyes a breakout past $1,700, while XRP hovers above $1.40.
Experts agree: Bitcoin nears bottom, but weak demand raises doubts
Bitcoin (BTC) is trading above $63,000 at the time of writing on Friday after rebounding from the key 200-week Simple Moving Average (SMA) near $62,000, a level widely viewed as key long-term support. The recovery may suggest that Bitcoin has found a floor after a sharp correction that spanned more than a month, but some warning signs persist.
