However, with the market’s latest dip, FTM is now retesting its descending resistance line and currently trading at $0.98.
If $FTM can hold this support and bounce back, it could rally toward the $1.47 resistance zone, offering a significant recovery opportunity for investors.
Polkadot (DOT)
Polkadot (DOT) has followed a similar trajectory, breaking out of a Descending Triangle pattern on November 23, 2024. This breakout propelled the token to a high of $12.05, marking a substantial gain.
DOT Token Chart 1D/ Coinsprobe
However, with the market’s latest decline of over 20% in last 7 days, DOT is now retesting its descending resistance line and currently trading at $6.98.
A successful bounce from this support could lead $DOT back toward the $12.05 resistance level, signaling a robust recovery.
What to Expect Ahead?
Both FTM and DOT are positioned at pivotal support levels, with their technical setups hinting at the possibility of a rebound. The broader market’s direction, especially Bitcoin's dominance which is now at 58.85%, will play a critical role in influencing these tokens’ trajectories.
While the potential upside is promising—50% for FTM and 72% for DOT—investors should approach cautiously. Market sentiment remains mixed, and unexpected volatility could impact recovery efforts.
