Polkadot (DOT) has recently experienced a period of stagnation, failing to host a significant rise. Contrarily, the existing downward trend could open the door to more substantial declines in the near future. This situation could lead to a further decrease in the value of the already struggling altcoin, potentially pushing it out of investors’ preferred list.
The Future of Polkadot
While some investors in Polkadot expect its price to rise, others seem focused on a decline. Additionally, supply measurements made about the altcoin, especially the Sharpe ratio, appear to continue responding to the clear demands for a decrease.
The Sharpe ratio measures the risk-adjusted return of an investment and shows how much return an investment can generate per unit of risk. A high Sharpe ratio indicates better risk-adjusted performance.
On the other hand, a negative Sharpe Ratio can be interpreted as a loss regarding the asset due to completely invalid risk-adjusted returns. This negative situation is applicable for DOT, where the ratio is observed to be 4.32. It can be interpreted as a lack of incentive for traders and investors.
Moreover, price indicators also highlight a significant rally. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) attempted to cross the critical threshold of 50, indicating that momentum could change in the upcoming period, but unfortunately, it was not successful.
RSI measures how quickly and in what manner price movements occur, identifying overbought or oversold conditions as a momentum oscillator. Generally, RSI values above 70 indicate overbuying, while values below 30 suggest overselling.
Although Polkadot’s price is not in extreme selling conditions, its inability to rise above 50.0 could signal potential future price declines.
Will DOT’s Price Drop?
Polkadot’s price, as of this writing, stands at $6.94, maintaining its presence as a support level at $7. The altcoin, moving within a falling channel, could potentially exhibit a stronger resistance.
Furthermore, considering the issues highlighted above, DOT could enter a decline and touch the lower trend line of the channel. This line’s bottom level is calculated at $5, and reaching this level could push DOT to its lowest in five months.
Additionally, if the $7 support region remains unbroken, Polkadot’s price could cause the channel to move downward. As a result, DOT could retest the $8 and $9 levels.
