Polkadot price risks a 10% correction
Polkadot price pulled back during the December 22 trading session, as DOT was overbought, evidenced by the position of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) above the 70 level.
If selling pressure increases, Polkadot price could extend the fall, dipping into the supply zone that now acts as a bullish breaker between $7.236 and $7.575. A break and close below the midline of this order block at $7.396 would confirm the continuation of the downtrend.
Such a move could send Polkadot price lower to revisit the $6.240 level. Such a move would constitute a 22% drop below current levels.
Notably, the RSI is moving south, showing that momentum is dropping. This favors the bearish thesis.
