Polkadot price sets up for a 35% decline as the bearish purge ensues

  • Polkadot price has breached a triangle consolidation to the downside.
  • DOT price has displayed bearish volume.
  • Invalidation of the bearish thesis is a breach above $9.60.

Polkadot price shows bears are in control of the market. A steep decline could occur if the technicals are correct.

Polkadot price due for a purge

Polkadot price breach of the triangular consolidation spells for a disastrous decline in the coming days. The coiling triangle, which began on May 11th, projects a 35% decline in the making. DOT price has displayed considerable volume throughout the last few weeks, which further confounds a future mudslide.

Polkadot price, like several cryptocurrencies, has been rejected from bullish support on the Relative Strength Index. When combined, a decline to $5 holds merit. Polkadot price could begin a steep decline with a challenging opportunity for a bearish entry.

Invalidation of the bearish downtrend is a breadth above $9.60. If the bulls can breach this level, a rise to $11 could result in a 25% increase from the current Polkadot price.

Appetite for risk assets remains lethargic, as reflected in the Fear & Greed Index, which is embedded in the Fear territory at 28.
Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP extend decline amid renewed risk-averse sentiment

The Bitcoin futures yield collapse: Once over 20%, now less than Treasury notes
Once a goldmine for carry traders, Bitcoin futures have flipped, consistently underperforming plain‑vanilla U.S. Treasuries every month since February. Carry trades consistently yielded 20% or more across regulated and unregulated crypto exchanges during the 2021 bull market. The strategy involved shorting Bitcoin futures while simultaneously buying a spot exchange-traded fund (ETF).
The crypto market is moving in the opposite direction to equities
The crypto market’s market capitalisation has fallen by 1% over the past 24 hours, returning to levels last seen in mid-July. The positive momentum the market showed in the first half of last week failed to take hold. Once again, we are seeing a negative correlation with the Nasdaq 100 index, this time in the form of falling cryptocurrencies while shares rise. Could this be becoming the new norm?
Bitcoin: Bulls hold the line
Bitcoin (BTC) edges slightly lower, trading at $64,300 at the time of writing on Friday but holding firmly above a key support zone. US-listed spot Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) support BTC as they continued to attract institutional flows through Thursday, pointing to the fourth consecutive week of net inflows.
