CleaRank AI analysis of DOT/USD
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
Polkadot (DOT/USD) is priced at $1.11 and sits above both of its key moving averages. Its price is 0.96% above the 50-day average of $1.10 and 6.01% above the 200-day average of $1.05. Within its 52-week range, the coin is 47.80% above the low of $0.751 and 65.99% below the high of $3.26, so it trades near the bottom of that band. Because the 50-day average is 5.01% above the 200-day, the moving averages back up the recent move instead of working against it.
Recent gains sit against a weaker longer record: the price rose 3.19% over the past month, rose 32.86% over the past three months and fell 61.53% over the past year. The 14-day RSI of 46.1 is in the neutral zone, and the MACD line is positive.
- The two closest levels matter most here: the 20-day EMA at $1.17 sits above the price, and the 50-day SMA at $1.10 sits below it.
- The 14-day RSI stands at 46.1, which is neutral territory, and the MACD line is positive. Readings above 70 or below 30 are the points where momentum would be considered stretched.
The uptrend rests on DOT/USD staying above its 50-day average at $1.10 and its 200-day average at $1.05; a close below the 50-day would be the first crack in it. On a pullback, the first level the price would meet is the 50-day SMA at $1.10.
Looking up, the first level the price would meet is the 20-day EMA, which sits at $1.17.
