Polkadot price analysis: DOT will need to defend $7 support before moving upwards

Polkadot price analysis shows mixed signals on its daily movement, as price recovered slightly from yesterday’s downtrend that lowered price to $7.09. Over the past 24 hours, DOT regained over 2 percent to move as high as current point at $7.54. However, price still remains in touch with support at $7 and further downtrend is likely once price drops below the 9 and 21-day moving averages. Bulls will look to defend the $7 support before gradually pushing price to the boundary of the $7-$7.5 channel. After the expected downtrend, DOT may be able to conjure up adequate momentum to reclaim $8 in the next push.

The larger cryptocurrency market showed signs of consolidation over the past 24 hours, led by Bitcoin’s move past the $22,500 mark. Ethereum also rose 3 percent to move up to $1,600, whereas leading Altcoins showed similar uptrends. Cardano gained a significant 9 percent to move up to $0.53, while Ripple consolidated up to $0.36 with a minor increment. Dogecoin moved up to $0.068, with Solana gaining 12 percent to move as high as $37.89.

The 24-hour relative strength index (RSI) is showing an increased market valuation for DOT at 52.51. Price could be set for correction once the RSI crosses the 60 mark into the overbought zone.
