Polkadot Technical Snapshot: above 200-day, below 50-week

Polkadot (DOTUSD) last traded at 1.185, up 2.95% on the session.

Trend and momentum

The daily picture is above the 200-day average but with a mixed short-term structure. Price sits 3.54% above its 20-day average of 1.1445, 18.17% above its 50-day average of 1.0028, and 11.92% above its 200-day average of 1.0588. Those distances are uneven: price is nearest its 20-day line and widest from its 50-day, and the 50-day itself (1.0028) remains below the 200-day (1.0588), which is the source of the mixed label even as price holds above all three.

Momentum is middle-of-the-road. RSI(14) reads 56.4, a neutral value inside the 30-70 band. The 14-day ATR is 0.0891, equal to 7.52% of the 1.185 price. That volatility sits at the 52nd percentile of the past year, so current daily ranges are close to the midpoint of what this instrument has produced over the last twelve months — neither unusually quiet nor unusually stretched.

Range and weekly picture

Price is 73.28% below its 52-week high of 4.4346 and 109.25% above its 52-week low of 0.5663, which places it 16% of the way up the 52-week range — in the lower quarter. Over the last 20 days it has traded between 0.931 and 1.303; the 60-day window shares that same 1.303 high but reaches down to a 0.72 low, so the two-month top is recent while the deeper low is older. The current 1.185 sits below that 1.303 swing high and above the 0.931 swing low. Both yearly extremes are nearly a year old: the 52-week high was set 362 sessions ago and the low 358 sessions ago, so price has spent essentially the entire period inside that 0.5663-to-4.4346 band.

On the weekly chart the trend is below the 50-week average but with a mixed short-term structure. Price stands 23.79% above its 20-week average of 0.9573 yet 18.8% below its 50-week average of 1.4594, and the weekly RSI(14) is 50.8, resting on the midline. The most recent week closed down 6.25%. The two timeframes disagree on trend: the daily read has price above all three daily averages, while the weekly still holds beneath its 50-week line. Momentum, however, lines up across horizons, with the daily 56.4 and weekly 50.8 both neutral and both near the middle of their ranges.

Over the past year Polkadot is down 71.7%, even after gaining 34.81% across the past quarter and 32.11% over the past month.
