Furthermore, the crypto analyst Jonathan Carter highlighted that DOT is approaching a decisive technical moment as its price tests the upper boundary of a descending channel on the daily chart.
This pattern, which has contained price action for weeks, appears to be nearing completion. Strengthening bullish momentum and higher lows suggest buyers are gradually gaining control near a key resistance level.

A successful break of the channel may indicate a shift in the trend, opening opportunities to reach targets of $1.65, $2.30, and even $3.40 if the momentum becomes strong.
However, traders are cautious because a failed attempt to break resistance levels may mean that the bearish trend will continue for a while.
According to TradingView, DOT continues on its downtrend, with the price trading below the level of resistance on the major moving averages.
As the token processes its range, it struggles to reclaim its ground above these levels, particularly at the 100 and 200 periods. The inability to maintain an upside breakout above $1.30 further implies weak momentum, favoring a bearish outlook.

Meanwhile, the MACD signals reflect the market’s indecision, as seen in their lazily hovering lines around the zero line. The wiggly histogram bars hint at low volatility and a battle between bulls and bears without one clearly winning the upper hand.
For there to be a real reversal in a trend, prices will have to break out of the moving averages cluster with a strong MACD swing.
