On our Polkadot price analysis, the coin is trading bearishly after the market retraced quickly to the $22 mark overnight. DOT/USD was able to contest the bearish pressure and regain the $26 support. We are expecting the coin to slide downwards in the next 24-hours as bears exert a pullback further down from the daily high at $35.

DOT/USD 4-hour chart: DOT targets $23.50 next?

On the 4-hour Polkadot price analysis chart, we can see the DOT/USD  price preparing for a rally above $26 support after undergoing hours of strong bearish pressures between $25 – $28.

Polkadot has struggled to cap a violent upside against the $35 resistance where further gains were rejected both yesterday and today. The cryptocurrency has been hugely affected by selling pressure at $29 as well and has taken lots of effort to cross into the $30 region. 

Nonetheless, the coin is back again below the barrier and the bulls are struggling to retest the $30 region with the $26 mark serving as support. 

We are expecting Polkadot price action to fall in the next 24-hours if the bulls are unable to defend the $26 support. Which could lead to a lower high later in the course of the week. 

Polkadot Price Analysis: Conclusion 

Polkadot price analysis is bearish for the next 24 hours after setting a lower low at $25 and a lower higher at $28. Polkadot rejected further highs above the $28 mark and we are therefore expecting DOT/USD to move lower over the next 24 hours.
