Polkadot Price Prediction: Can DOT Reclaim the $0.996 Level?

Will Polkadot reclaim the $0.996 level, or is DOT headed for another leg down?

This Polkadot price prediction begins with DOT bouncing off a support level, a price where buyers have stepped in before, after a steep weekly drop. It follows an earlier Polkadot price analysis from this site. Sellers still hold the nearby resistance level, a price where rallies have stalled.

Net inflow is money entering funds minus money leaving. Total net assets, the value of DOT the funds hold, stands at $8.35M, or 0.59% of market cap, on just $22.34K traded.

Wider ETF headlines in the latest crypto news feed can shift views on DOT fund demand. A flat $0.00 day adds no buying pressure, and funds this small can't steer price alone.

Polkadot Liquidation Data: $1.08M Wiped, 98% Longs

A liquidation is a forced exit from a leveraged trade once margin runs out. CoinGlass liquidation data shows $1.08M wiped from DOT futures in a day. Polkadot Liquidation Data

Longs are bets on a rising price, and shorts are bets on a falling price. Longs lost $1.06M, which is 98% of the total, while shorters lost just $20.99K.

Most of it hit earlier. About $786.17K was wiped between four and twelve hours ago. The last four hours added only $18.21K, and the last hour $1.42K, all longs.

When longs get liquidated, their positions are sold, which adds sell orders and can push the price lower. The slowdown in the last hour means forced selling has eased.

Polkadot Open Interest and Volume Data

CoinGlass futures data shows $135.95M in $DOT futures volume over 24h. Binance shows $40.84M in open interest, or 30.0% of the total.

Bybit shows $13.87M. Bybit volume jumped 73.3%, which reads like fresh demand at first. But the price fell over the same stretch, so liquidated longs probably drove a good share.

Open interest, the total value of futures contracts still open, stands at $149.59M. Binance leads at $28.98M, ahead of Gate by $4.28M. futures open interest

Gate slipped 0.7% while MEXC added 3.3%, so traders kept adding positions on some venues even as price fell.

Rising open interest during a drop means traders are adding positions, and that can fuel sharper swings either way.

Polkadot Technical Analysis: 50 EMA and RSI Levels

The Binance 4H chart for $DOT/USDT on TradingView frames this Polkadot price prediction.

Price traded sideways near the $0.949 resistance level until a $0.996 spike got rejected. $DOT then slid into a falling channel, a slope of lower highs and lower lows.

Sellers' higher rejections appear in an earlier DOT resistance analysis on this site. Buyers then failed at the $0.892 resistance level, and a final leg down tagged the $0.798 support level, where buyers need to step in.

Right now, $DOT trades inside a range, a band held between the $0.798 support level and $0.849 resistance level, and below the 4-hour 50 EMA.

The $DOT 4-hour 50 EMA sits at $0.872. $DOT's $0.8275 price trades 5.1% below it, so a real recovery needs a candle trading above the 50 EMA and the $0.849 level.

The $DOT RSI reads 41.27 on the 14-period setting. Under 50 means sellers hold the edge, and above 30 means oversold conditions haven't formed.

Risks to this Polkadot price prediction start with ETF flows turning negative, since funds hold just $8.35M. The technical risk cuts both ways. A daily candle under $0.798 breaks the bounce, while one above $0.849 breaks the bearish read.

Polkadot Price Prediction: Expert Outlook

According to CoinGabbar analysis, this Polkadot price prediction leans cautious, while $DOT trades below the $0.872 EMA. The RSI at 41.27 and 98% long liquidations back that view, and ETF flows of $0.00 add no offset.

A daily candle above $0.849 would be the first real sign of buyers. The $0.798 support level is the one to watch, since a daily candle trading below it confirms the bearish read and opens $0.758.
