$DOT Struggles in a Bearish Week
Polkadot ($DOT) was bullish the previous week, reaching a high of $4.96 on Friday (September 27). Market onlookers were hopeful that $DOT would break above $5, but the altcoin was again rejected at this level. After a rejection at $5, $DOT fell into the red over the previous weekend. Polkadot ($DOT) dropped 2.04% on Saturday and a further 0.42% on Sunday, closing the week at $4.76.
Intense selling pressure on Monday forced $DOT down by almost 7%. $DOT dropped below its crucial $4.50 level, settling the session at $4.44.
Bearish market conditions followed on Tuesday, with $DOT registering a substantial drop of 6.31% to close the session at $4.16. $DOT’s substantial decline on Monday and Tuesday saw the altcoin drop below the 20 and 50-day SMA. A volatile session on Wednesday saw a battle between buyers and sellers in which buyers attempted a recovery, and sellers tried to drive $DOT below its support at $4. Sellers were unable to push $DOT below $4, but despite buyers’ best efforts, $DOT registered a 1.44% decline and settled at $4.10. Continued bearish conditions on Thursday saw $DOT slip below its $4 support, falling to a daily low of $3.99. $DOT’s strong support at $4 allowed buyers to counter selling pressure, and a marginal increase of 0.73% pushed the price to $4.13.
The Battle Between Buyers and Sellers Continues
$DOT’s recovery on Thursday carried over into the next session. On Friday, $DOT registered a further increase of 1.45%, closing the session at $4.19. Saturday’s session saw sellers regain control, with $DOT dropping 1.26%, closing the session at $4.13.
$DOT Fails to Push Above $4.20
Despite buyers’ stepping in on Sunday, $DOT could not break above $4.20. Today’s session saw $DOT register a marginal increase of 1.19%, closing the session at $4.19.
Polkadot ($DOT) continues to trade between $4, which has strong support, and $5, which faces significant resistance. Despite a strong attempt, sellers were unable to push $DOT below $4. If sellers regain control and breach below this level, we could see $DOT fall to its multi-year support of $3.62.
