Polkadot risks a 5% correction but the bulls are still in play
Polkadot (DOT) price is up 80% since October 18, but now confronts a supply zone stretching from $ 7.236 to $.575. To confirm the continuation of the intermediate trend, the price must record a daily candlestick close above the mean threshold of this order block above $7.424.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows DOT is already massively overbought, at 83, but its trajectory or orientation to the north suggests buying momentum continues to rise. Similarly, the histogram bars of the Awesome Oscillator (AO) remain in the positive territory with large green volumes, solidifying the presence of the bulls in the DOT market.
Increased buying pressure could see Polkadot price overcome the $7.424 roadblock, flipping the supply zone into a bullish breaker by retesting the $7.900 range high. Notably, this level was last tested on February 19. Such a move would constitute a 7% climb above current levels.
