Polkadot (DOT) is struggling with a falling resistance trendline and has been experiencing a brutal decline since February. In the month of October, digital assets fell 10%, falling from $4.3 to $3.6.
Market analysts warn of the potential for further losses if prevailing bearish pressure continues. However, a small glimmer of hope emerged when DOT attempted a reversal at $3.6, signaling the possibility of overcoming the drag barrier.
Currently the DOT price is according to Coin gecko is at $3.74, representing a marginal decline of 0.3% in the past 24 hours and a decline of 2.8% in the span of seven days.
DOT’s fight for recovery
The lack of horizontal support below current price underlines the importance of Fib retracement levels in predicting potential lows. Notably, a Fibonacci retracement tool was used, which included the low high of $4.8 on August 29 and the recent dip of $3.6 on October 12. This analysis highlighted that the road to recovery for DOT faces significant obstacles at the 23.6% Fib ($3.9) and the 38.2% Fib ($4).
Complicating matters further, the $4 level, which serves as a second resistance target, coincides with a daily bearish order block (OB). This confluence suggests that crossing the $3.9 threshold could pose a challenge to bullish momentum.
