However, like any financial asset, its price movement is subject to various technical analysis patterns, one of which is the rising wedge chart pattern. 
The formation of a rising wedge pattern on DOT’s price chart suggests that despite its recent upward trajectory,<a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/analysis/dot/dot-price-polkadot-sharp-drop-5/" target="_blank" rel="noopener "> there could be a downturn </a>on the horizon. Traders and investors often watch for confirmation signals such as a break below the lower base of the wedge to confirm the pattern’s validity and anticipate potential selling pressure. 
Currently, the price of DOT is down by -0.13%, trading at about $7.13, with a market capitalization of over $10 billion and a trading volume of over $153 Million as of the time of writing. Although its market capitalization is down by 0.39%, its trading volume is up by 0.34% in the past day. 
With the help of the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), and Relative Strength Index (RSI), this analysis was carried out using both the 4-hour and daily timeframe.

Currently, in the 4-hour chart, DOT is still moving in a consolidation manner, with the upper base and the lower base of the wedge building up momentum below the 100-day simple moving average.

The 4-hour relative strength index is signaling that the price of <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/analysis/dot/record-breaking-q1-for-polkadot-daily-active-addresses-hit-514000-as-dot-price-surges-7/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">DOT</a> might break below the lower base of the wedge as the RSI line is seen trending a bit below the 50% level. From this RSI formation, it can be suggested that if DOT breaks below the wedge, it will begin to move downward toward the closest key support level. 
Meanwhile, in the 1-day chart, DOT’s price is seen trending within the wedge but close to the lower base. The 1-day RSI also suggests that DOT might go bearish as the RSI line is attempting to cross below the 50% level. From this RSI formation, it is advised that investors should watch out for a break below the wedge before taking any sell positions.

<h2 id="strong-potential-price-action-in-the-event-of-a-breakout-strong">Potential Price Action In The Event Of A Breakout</h2> 
Presently, the crypto asset’s price is still moving within the wedge, and DOT will begin to decline in the direction of the $4.8 support level in the event that there is a breakout below the wedge. If the price falls below the aforementioned level, it might perhaps fall further to test the $3.5 support level. 
On the other hand, if the price reverses course and breaks above the wedge’s upper base, it will begin to rise toward the $9,8 resistance level. Should it break above this level, Polkadot will go higher to test the $11.9 resistance level. In addition, DOT might see a stronger rise to test more<a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/analysis/dot/dot-price-polkadot-juncture-7-0/" target="_blank" rel="noopener "> significant levels</a> if it closes above $11.9.
