Polkadot in Bearish Setup, Target at 19.25Trend Analysis
The main view of this trade idea is on the 4-Hour Chart. The cryptocurrency Polkadot (DOT) has constructed a descending triangle setup since the beginning of December 2021. The support line is observed around the 25.50 price level while the resistance trend line is seen with lower highs at 31.50 and 30. Expectations are for DOT to break support and head towards 19.25. Failure of this would take DOT back above 30.30.
From a longer term view Polkadot has trended lower and is currently testing support. A break lower can take the cryptocurrency towards 10.
Technical Indicators
Currently Polkadot is below its short (50-MA), medium (100-MA) and long (200-MA) fractal moving averages. There has been negative crossovers on these MAs, which has set the downtrend for the cryptocurrency. The technical indicators have also shown bearish signs. The RSI is below 50 while the KST is in sell mode.
Recommendation
The recommendation will be to go short at market, with a stop loss at 30.30 and a target of 19.25. This produces a risk/reward ratio of 1.36.
