However, the resistance levels of $4.2484, $4.3607, and $4.4324 may slow this upward movement.

The breakout from the triangle suggests DOT could continue to rise as per the analyst adding an upward possibility.

But a pullback around $4.24 may stalk the upward movement towards other targets. In the long run, DOT’s long-term price prediction relies on breaking through the short-term barrier.

A reclaim of $4.50 could lead to greater market demand. Failure to maintain support at $4.14 might risk a return to earlier lows.

Long-Term Potential: Bullish Scenario Remains Possible

In a separate analysis, analyst ChartNerdTA sees a more aggressive path for Polkadot targeting the 1.272 Fibonacci extension at $117. This scenario assumes a breakout from a falling wedge pattern which historically implies a potential reversal.

ChartNerdTA noted, “This sleeping Parachain giant could easily pull a 27x from current prices.” The analyst states that the market conditions may have changed since the analysis. Therefore, traders should review the latest trend to determine whether this scenario holds.

The falling wedge pattern gives up for a bullish reversal, but it depends on market momentum. If the price breaks the descending resistance, we could see an upward movement.

The potential for reaching the $14.1132 level is crucial for validating this longer-term outlook.

Analysts are watching for a breakout or breakdown in the coming days. Polkadot’s ability to hold key support levels and overcome nearby resistance will determine the validity of each scenario. Traders should focus on price movements and technical confirmations to make informed decisions.
