Polkadot price stabilizes as bulls target $24

Polkadot price continues to coil into a tighter and tighter range, hinting a big move is coming very soon.
Bulls keep DOT above key Ichimoku support levels.
A return to $24 is critical before any new uptrend can develop.

Polkadot price action develops congestion before a major breakout

Polkadot price action, in many ways, is showing more bullish developments than many altcoins. Moreover, several time and price factors point to a very optimistic outlook for DOT in the immediate future.

From a time cycle perspective, Polkadot price is at the tail end of one of Gann’s most important Cycles of the Inner Year: the 240-day cycle, which Gann said is often a swing low if the long-term trend is bullish. March 17 is 240-days from the July 20, 2021 low. Very close to the critical Gann Seasonal Date of March 21.

The second time cycle of importance is the Kump Twist (black vertical line), which occurs this week. Kumo Twist’s are periods where Senkou Span A crosses Senkou Span B - changing the Cloud from red to green (or green to red). It can also signify a probable swing high/low if a market has been trending strongly into the Kumo Twist.

The time cycles all point to a change in direction for Polkadot price - which correlates perfectly with DOT’s Point and Figure chart.

Polkadot price continues to have one of the longest-lasting Spike Patterns on its Point and Figure chart of the entire cryptocurrency market. The beginning of the current O-column was first developed on November 3, 2021, with the last O column appearing on February 23d.

Since November 3, 2021, DOT has yet to have a reversal column of Xs develop. Although no time factor exists on a Point and Figure chart, the length of time without a reversal is notable and considerable.

A Spike Pattern is any column with fifteen or more Xs or Os. It represents extremes and overdone movements. The entry off of a Spike Pattern is the three-box reversal. Compared to other patterns in Point and Figure analysis, the Spike Pattern requires active management and is a more aggressive entry.

The theoretical long entry remains buy stop order is at $24, a stop loss at $16, and a profit target at $100. The profit target is derived from the Vertical Profit Target Method in Point and Figure analysis and should not be viewed as a target likely to hit anytime soon.

Because it is a Spike Pattern, the low of the current O-column is not known. Therefore, if Polkadot price moves lower, the entry and four-box stop loss moves in tandem with price.

Given the resistance levels that have been discussed in prior analysis and on the existing Ichimoku charts, the $35 to $40 value area is likely to stop Polkadot’s initial rally from the entry.

Additionally, because it is a Spike Pattern, the low of the current O-column is not known. Therefore, if the Polkadot price moves lower, the entry and four-box stop loss moves in tandem with price.

Downside risks could easily extend below the 2022 low towards the last high volume node from the 2021 Volume Profile at $10.00.
