Each attempt at recovery gets crushed immediately, creating a staircase pattern that points straight down. The bears have seized control and they&#8217;re not letting go.<\/p>\n<p>The token&#8217;s failure to hold key support levels exposes the underlying weakness. Buyers keep getting trapped at higher prices while smart money continues dumping into any strength. This isn&#8217;t a temporary correction &#8211; it&#8217;s a structural shift toward much lower prices.<\/p>\n<h2>Technical Carnage Builds<\/h2>\n<p>Moving averages are stacking against DOT like a wall of resistance. The price sits well below multiple timeframe averages, creating overhead supply that will smother any relief rallies. Every technical indicator points to continuation of the downtrend.<\/p>\n<p>The momentum structure shows selling accelerating rather than exhausting. Volume patterns confirm institutional distribution as large holders unload positions into retail buying. The technical picture couldn&#8217;t be clearer about the direction.<\/p>\n<h2>Market Psychology Favors Bears<\/h2>\n<p>Retail traders remain stubbornly bullish while the price continues falling &#8211; a classic contrarian signal. This disconnect between sentiment and price action typically precedes major moves lower as reality forces position adjustments.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"card border-0 rounded-4 shadow-sm my-4 bg-body-tertiary news-inline-price-chart\" data-news-inline-chart=\"1\" data-binance-symbol=\"DOTUSDT\" aria-labelledby=\"news-inline-pc-h-65a56e53\">\n<div class=\"card-body\">\n<p class=\"small text-secondary mb-2\">Hourly candlesticks (about 96 bars), same endpoint as our cryptocurrency price pages.

The market is setting up for a cascade of forced selling once key support levels break definitively.<\/p>\n<h2>The $0.90 Target<\/h2>\n<p>Previous cycle data shows $0.90 as the next meaningful support zone where buyers historically stepped in. This level represents approximately 28% downside from current prices &#8211; a significant but achievable target given the momentum.<\/p>\n<p>The path lower has minimal technical obstacles between current levels and the target. Support levels that might provide temporary pauses are weak and likely to break under sustained pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Short positions initiated on any bounces toward $1.30 offer excellent risk-reward ratios. The invalidation level sits at $1.40 where the bearish thesis would be compromised.<\/p>\n<p>The timeline for reaching $0.90 appears compressed given the acceleration in selling pressure. Market structure suggests this move unfolds within the next 10 trading days as technical damage compounds and sentiment deteriorates further.<\/p>\n<p><span><i>Image source: Shutterstock<\/i><\/span> <!-- Divider --> <!-- Author info END --> <!-- Divider --> <a href=\"https:\/\/blockchain.news\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joerg Hiller Apr 23, 2026 09:13 Polkadot&#8217;s technical breakdown accelerates as selling pressure overwhelms buyers at every bounce.
