DOT or DUST? $3.82 Decides All! 🚀📉

by

Right, so Polkadot [DOT]. It seems to be having a bit of a moment, doesn’t it? Apparently, there’s a “TD Sequential buy signal” on the 4-hour chart. Sounds impressive, if you know what any of that actually means 🤔. Anyway, it’s testing the resistance of some “descending wedge,” which I assume is less about cheese and more about charts.

At the time of writing – because everything changes in crypto faster than you can say “blockchain” – DOT was trading at $3.66. That’s a 4.93% daily gain, which, if you’re into that sort of thing, is allegedly a sign of “renewed momentum.” Or maybe just random luck 🤷‍♂️.

This little rebound brings it face-to-face with the $3.82 resistance. A “critical barrier,” they say. Sounds like something you’d encounter in a video game. If it punches through, we might see $4.78. But if it doesn’t? Back down to $3.27 we go! 🎢

DOT traders tilt cautiously bullish (or not)

The technical outlook is, and I quote, “leaning in favor of the bulls.” Sounds like a very polite bullfight, if you ask me 🐂.

The 9-day moving average has apparently crossed above the 21-day MA around $3.61. A “bullish crossover,” they call it. Which sounds like a bad boyband from the early 2000s. Short-term momentum, allegedly, is shifting. I’ll believe it when I see it 👀.

The Directional Movement Index (DMI) – don’t ask me to explain it – has an ADX reading of 31.98, which “confirms the presence of a strong trend.” So, something’s happening. Maybe. 🤷

Even though the -DI still exceeds the +DI (more jargon!), the gap is decreasing, suggesting that the bearish pressure is “gradually fading.” Like an old t-shirt in the sun 👕.

Meanwhile, in the derivatives markets – which sound like something out of a sci-fi film – traders are “cautiously optimistic.” The Long/Short Ratio is hovering around 1.0137, with 50.34% of positions skewed long. Exciting! 🎉

So, not exactly a full-blown stampede, but a slight inclination towards things going up. Especially if DOT manages to, you know, break that pesky $3.82 ceiling 🚧.

Whales retreat (probably for a nap) as bulls emerge (maybe)

Coinglass data – which sounds like a hipster eyewear brand – reveals a cluster of short liquidations between $3.70 and $3.83. Apparently, if DOT breaks out, short sellers will be forced to exit, triggering a “cascade of liquidations.” Sounds messy 🚿.

This “liquidity pocket” (crypto jargon is the best, isn’t it?) could be the fuel for DOT’s breakout rally. Or it could just be a blip. Who knows? 🤷‍♀️

Spot exchange flow on the 17th of April showed outflows of $4.56 million, exceeding inflows of $4.42 million. So, more DOT is leaving exchanges, which suggests reduced selling pressure and possible accumulation. Or maybe people just want to keep it under their mattress 🛏️.

All this, combined with the technical and sentiment-driven mumbo jumbo, suggests that DOT is “preparing for a significant directional move.” Up, down, sideways? Place your bets! 🎲

Will DOT finally reclaim bullish control? (Don’t hold your breath)

All signs point to Polkadot challenging a “critical resistance zone.” The bullish crossover, rising trend strength, and exchange outflows all suggest things are… happening. 🤷‍♂️

But the $3.82 resistance remains. It’s the final boss. 👾

If DOT breaks above it, the rally could accelerate towards $4.78. If not, we’re back to square one. So, buckle up, buttercup! It’s going to be a bumpy ride 🎢.
