The relative strength index (RSI) has taken a downturn and has reverted back into the neutral zone after remaining in the oversold zone for some time. The RSI is trading at index 68, still near the overbought zone but on a downward curve, indicating an increase in selling activity in the market.

The volatility is high for Polkadot as the Bollinger bands are still diverging at a good pace, with both limits of the indicators diverging almost equally. The price has stepped down below the top limit of the indicator, which was representing support for the DOT, but has now turned into resistance for the coin, and the support has come down to the level of the mean average of the indicator, which is present at $45.22.

The RSI, after coming down on a sharp curve for the starting four hours, now shows a little horizontal movement, which indicates the sellers’ dominance in the market, but the intensity has decreased, which might support the DOT price for the coming hours. The price has stepped below the moving average on the 4-hour chart, indicating a bearish crossover. The volatility is mild as the Bollinger bands, after converging steeply till yesterday, have now taken the shape of a not-so-district channel with the mean average at $52.18 representing support for the falling price.

Polkadot price analysis conclusion

The Polkadot price analysis suggests that the coin is retracing after observing a record high again yesterday. The overall bullish Polkadot is correcting at this time which is a very natural phenomenon for more upwards movement. Despite the correction, we believe the Polkadot will maintain above $50 today. Even a reversal in trend is also possible and we might observe a new record high.
