DOT technical analysis: Can the upcoming upgrade save the price?

The Polkadot price prediction for 2024 is largely influenced by its historical price action and broader market dynamics, including investor activity and general sentiment within the cryptocurrency sector.
 

The analysis commenced with DOT experiencing a downturn, dipping below the critical $5.5 level in early May. 
 

As May progressed, attempts by the bulls to breach the $5.5 barrier were met with resistance, leading to a series of rejections that persisted into June. Despite these challenges, the bulls mounted a renewed effort by the end of June, momentarily pushing DOT back to test the $5.5 mark once again. 
 

The repeated inability to sustain above this level culminated in a sharp decline by late July, solidifying $5.5 as a critical price level. By mid-September, DOT had plummeted to its lowest support at $3.9, marking a significant trough for the year.
 

This low appeared to catalyze a change in market sentiment, sparking a vigorous bullish rally. By early October, DOT experienced a trend reversal, effectively breaching the $3.9 level and initiating a bullish phase that saw it retest and eventually surpass the $5.5 level by early November. 
 

This momentum carried DOT towards a higher peak of $8.6 by the end of December, although this surge was short-lived as a pullback to $6.6 occurred with the onset of 2024.
 

As 2024 unfolded, February witnessed another bullish surge that pushed DOT to a yearly high resistance of $10.4 by early March. However, similar to previous patterns, this peak was not maintained, and the token retreated to $8.6 by mid-March.
 

The subsequent weeks saw an intensification of bearish pressure, with DOT descending back to the $6.6 level by early April. The remainder of April and early May was marked by the bulls trying to defend this level. Nevertheless, at the time of writing, DOT had slipped slightly below the $6.6 level to trade at $6.4.
 

According to CoinMarketCap, the token's price declined 7% over the past month alone. Recently, Polkadot's Fellowship approved the launch of Asynchronous Backing, a significant development that will pave the way for the highly anticipated Polkadot 2.0. This new feature will enable parallel transaction validation by cutting the block time from 12 to 6 seconds.
 

In the face of such significant developments, DOT’s value can likely surge. In that case, it may rally above $8.6 to touch the peak resistance at $10.4 soon. Furthermore, if the bullish rally is sustained, DOT may even soar higher to claim the $11.7 mark, a significant level that has not been touched since 2022.
 

However, according to a recent report by AMBCrypto, the altcoin has lost its social media appeal, with a significant decline in social media volumes recently witnessed. If the bears take over due to decreased buying pressure, DOT may plunge below the critical $5.5 within the next few weeks. 
 

If the bears sustain the rally, DOT may fall below the lowest support level, at $3.9, within the upcoming months to touch its all-time low (ATL) value at $2.6 for the first time since 2020.
 

Despite the recent turmoil, the long-term future of this altcoin seems promising. Based on our AI/ML predictive models, the forecasted average price of DOT for 2032 is projected to be over $16.4. In the longer run, the altcoin may surge higher to touch $25.2 in 2035.

DOT's 2024 roadmap: Key indicators to watch and trade

• At the onset of the analysis, the trading volume was significantly low. However, it began recovering by mid-October.
• Although another dip in trading volume was noticed in January, it was not sustained. In addition, it spiked again in late February. At the time of writing, DOT’s trading volume had plunged slightly from its highs, but it did not stoop to its previous lows.
• As the analysis period commenced, the Bollinger Bands were quite contracted. However, the bands began expanding by December, pointing towards a volatile market. By April, the bands began to contract again.
• During December and from late February to mid-March, the price candles had gone beyond the upper band. This signified that the asset was overvalued. 
• At the onset of the analysis, the price candles fell below the 20-week Moving Average (MA) and continued on this path until late October, when the candles surpassed the 20 MA. By early April, it dipped below the 20 MA again and continued below it until the end of the analysis. 
• The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line and signal line remained below the neutral line for most parts of 2023. After constant fluctuations, the MACD line went over the signal line in mid-October. While the MACD line managed to go above the neutral line during November, the signal line surpassed the neutral line in December.
• After a constant ascent, the MACD line finally began to plunge in April. At press time, the MACD line (valued at 0.167) had deviated in a downward trajectory from the signal line (valued at 0.526) and the histogram was negative at -0.359. This indicated that there was a bearish momentum present in the market.
