According to CoinGecko, the 24-hour volume for DOT increased by 23%. However, zooming out, a steady decline in trading volume since July 5, when the asset hit its yearly low, is noticeable. This suggests there is weak buying pressure and a lack of bullish interest.
Additionally, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://coinalyze.net/polkadot/long-short-ratio/">Coinalyze</a> data shows open interest is low, increasing only 0.12% in the last 24 hours. Nevertheless, the Long/Short ratio is 2.83, with 73.86% of traders across exchange betting Long on the asset. This indicates the market may be fearful in the short term, but optimistic in the long term.

<a href="https://coingape.com/price/polkadot" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Polkadot price</a> chart shows a downward trend with the value consistently below the 50-day and 200-day EMAs. Candlestick analysis reveals a potential for the bearish momentum to continue but a major support at the recent psychological low of $5 may hold the price up.
Polkadot price is in a consolidation zone which has lasted about 1.5 months. A break below the $5 support level may result in further downside movement to $4.91 (yearly low). Conversely, if bulls prevail, DOT price may encounter major resistanc around $6.17 (50-day EMA) and a relatively small barrier around $6.77 (200-day EMA). Beyond this, $7.00 presents a strong resistance level.
The Relative Strength Index (<a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/rsi-relative-strength-index/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">RSI</a>) is at 40.90, indicating bearish momentum but approaching oversold territory. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) is at 0.04, showing neutral to slightly positive money flow. This suggest capital inflow to Polkadot is minimal but still present.
