At the time of writing, the price of DOT was $5,022, below its March low and former support of $5.2. Another price rejection at the March lows further bolstered sellers’ leverage, forcing them to focus on the $4.8 support for additional gains.
In terms of development, a new version – Polka dot 2.0 seen in recent talks, but the story hasn’t changed DOT’s price trend at the time of writing.
Will the immediate support hold?

The impressive recovery from June ran into a problem retesting the June high. The price rejection caused DOT to reverse some of its recent gains and lose more than 10% after falling from $5.64 on July 3 to $5.02 at the time of writing.
The decline turned the March low and May support of $5.2 into resistance. So far, bulls have failed to win back, giving sellers more advantage to seek profit at the next support level – $4.87. While a liquidity hunt above $4.8 cannot be overruled, bulls could try to secure support.
So a $4.87 rebound and a confirmed uptrend could be a buy signal, especially if BTC won’t drop below $30k. In that case, the immediate target will be $5.2, while the June high will be a secondary target.
Conversely, a BTC dropping below $30,000 could push DOT into a further aggressive sell-off. A $4.3 retest could be feasible if bulls fail to hold the $4.87 support.
The RSI failed to move above the neutral position, while the OBV hovered above -80 million, indicating that demand has eased in recent days.
Open Interest rates stabilized

However, the declining cumulative volume delta has stabilized over the past few days, meaning selling pressure has eased. Taken together, the stats could point to a possible price reversal and likely recovery at $4.87 support.
But BTC’s jaunt to $29,000 could also crack support. Thus, bulls must wait for a confirmed uptrend and a BTC price above $30,000 before seeking entry again.
