Polkadot (DOT) price is nearing a very good entry opportunity for traders and investors who believe in an uptrend. Looking from a purely technical point of view, and leaving all external forces aside, DOT is nearing that crucial, pivotal level as bulls are set to catch the price action. Expect a quick turnaround higher once the pivotal level has been hit with $8 on the docket in the coming weeks.
Polkadot price has bulls gearing up and standing ready for the collision course DOT is on toward a vital support level. That level can be found at $6.23, where not only a historic pivotal level can be found. Additionally, the 55-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) is nearby and has recently crossed the 200-day SMA in a Golden Cross pattern.
DOT, unfortunately, is not yet in that perfect Golden Cross as the 200-day SMA is still tied to the downside. That means that $6.23 could see some very bearish pressure, and it is up to the bulls to defend it. Once price action bounces, expect to see confirmation with a leg higher and $8, a 28% gain, as the price target for the coming weeks.
DOT/USD daily chart
As mentioned, bears could see their chance here to try and break the support because the Golden Cross is not confirmed. Should DOT slip below $6.23 and even trade lower than the 200-day SMA, some further weakness could be at hand as bulls will track back on entering. That could give the bears a free ride lower toward at least $5.80 or even $4.40 in a worst case scenario.
