The session's most dramatic action hit during a sharp intraday decline that tested critical support levels. The model showed that DOT dropped from $1.85 to $1.76 on exceptional volume of 8.81 million.
This marked 236% above the 24-hour simple moving average, according to the model.
The token then executed a swift V-shaped recovery back to $1.80. This price action confirmed strong institutional support at the $1.76 psychological level, the model said.
DOT underperformed wider crypto markets. The broader market gauge, the CoinDesk 20 index, was 0.2% lower at publication time.
Technical Analysis:
- Strong support confirmed at $1.76 psychological level; resistance at $1.805 requires fresh catalyst for breakthrough
- Peak institutional activity at 8.8 million tokens during intraday decline
- V-shaped recovery from session lows indicating absorption of selling pressure; consolidation pattern forming near $1.80
- Upside target at $1.82 contingent on volume confirmation above $1.805; downside risk limited to $1.76 support zone
