Based on the technicals, the DOT price has space to climb, but traders should be very cautious. A second attempt at the $5.70 low should not be considered a buy-the-dip opportunity. A breach of the lows could induce a flash crash towards the $5.30 liquidty zones resulting in a further 10% decline.
Invalidation of the bearish thesis can occur if the bulls reconquer the$ 6.40 swing high produced on October 17. An additional rally towards $7.00 could occur if the breach occurs, resulting in an 18% increase from the current Polkadot price.
