DOT technical analysis today
Daily (1D) read of Polkadot (DOT), built from closed candles only. Last update: .
Trend: Sideways
A trend label needs three conditions to agree. This is what each one shows now:
- Swing structurelower highs and lower lowsbearish side
- Price vs the 50 EMAabove by 1.9 ATRbullish side
- Slope of the 50 EMA (last 10 candles)risingbullish side
The three conditions do not agree, so the 1D label is sideways: there is no clear trend on this timeframe.
Structure read by timeframe: 1D bullish · 1W bearish. Combined bias: neutral.

Downside

Frequently asked questions
How is the DOT trend decided?
The 1D label is bullish or bearish only when three things agree: swing structure (higher highs and higher lows, or lower highs and lower lows), price at least 0.3 ATR away from the 50 EMA on the same side, and the 50 EMA sloping the same way. If they disagree the label is sideways.
