The Polkadot blockchain’s token – DOT – has been generating considerable hype amongst investors lately. Aside from its strong fundamentals, it’s a blockchain solving the unique problem of connecting several blockchains to enable data sharing.
DOT has been making a run for important resistances and has shown strength recently. With Bitcoin now closing above the psychological $40,000 level, DOT may take this opportunity to rally further.
DOT got rejected at the $24 level recently and is now currently trading in the $19 range, with an important resistance located around the $19.5 level. Should DOT manage to break and hold this level, short-term target of $22, will come into play. $25 and $27 should quickly flow if broader market sentiments permit.
Of course, this is contingent on Bitcoin playing ball. Else, DOT will enjoy support at $18 level. DOT remains a fundamentally sound token with a promising long-term potential.
Major Levels
Support: $18, $17.4, $16
Resistance: $19.5, $22, $25
