Polkadot price needs to juice up before rallying 40%

Polkadot price is currently hovering around a crucial level that could result in an uptick in buying pressure and a rally. However, sellers could trigger another liquidity hunt before attempting a run-up. 

Polkadot price to dig a little lower

Polkadot price showed bullish momentum as it bounced off the $5.94 to $6.51 demand zone on July 26. The ricochet pushed DOT up by 48%, producing a swing high at $9.65. Since then, it has been a bear infestation with no signs of stopping until August 27.

As Polkadot price trades around $6.85, investors can expect two things to happen:

• Bounce off the range low and trigger a 14% rally to sweep the equal highs at $7.77.
• However, if it digs into the demand zone, DOT could trigger a 40% move to sweep the liquidity resting above equal highs present at $9.65.

A premature bounce could have the momentum, but a dip into the aforementioned demand zone would provide more oomph to move the extra mile. Therefore, investors should assess the sweep of the range low at $6.85 before Polkadot price triggers a run-up.

On the other hand, if the buyers fail to step up, causing Polkadot price to produce a daily candlestick close below $5.94, it will create a lower low and invalidate the bullish thesis for DOT.

In such a case, Polkadot price might revisit $5.5 and the $5 psychological levels in search of key support.
