DOT, Polkadot’s native cryptocurrency is up by 6% as asset manager 21Shares filed for a spot Polkadot ETF, the first such filing for this altcoin. As a result, the DOT price has made quick gains shooting to $6.5 as analysts believe that a potential breakout could lead to a new high ahead. Also, the daily trading volume for DOT has surged by 75% to more than $338 million.

DOT Price Shows Bullish Potential Amid Fibonacci Levels

In recent months, the DOT price chart has shown the formation of bullish technical patterns. From August to November 2023, Polkadot formed a descending triangle pattern, which led to a breakout and a strong rally, peaking near $11.00 in December, reported macro analyst FLASH.

Following this peak, a descending wedge pattern emerged, with the current price consolidating at $6.217. also, the key Fibonacci retracement levels for DOT price to watch are 0.618% at $6.772 and 0.786% at $5.434.

Recent price activity indicates a bounce from the lower trend line and the 0.786 Fibonacci level, hinting at a potential bullish reversal. However, confirmation of this trend is awaited. To sustain a bullish trajectory, the DOT price must breach a critical resistance level at $7.545, marked as a horizontal green line on the chart. A breakout above this level could pave the way for a rally toward a projected target of $14,605, as suggested by a bullish green arrow.

Polkadot Positioned for Massive 650% Price Surge?

Polkadot (DOT) may be gearing up for a significant rally, according to market analyst Javon Marks. In a recent statement, Marks highlighted DOT’s multiple breakouts as a sign of strong bullish momentum. If this projection materializes, it would represent a staggering DOT price climb of over 650% from current levels.

“$DOT (Polkadot), by its multiple breakouts, looks to still be well positioned for another monumental surge in price, which could lead all the way to the $53.385 target, if not even higher,” Marks stated.

As of press time, the Polkadot price is trading 5.7% up at $6.43 with a market cap of $9.92 billion. The daily trading volume is up by 75% while the open interest has surged over %% to more than $501 million, as per the Coinglass data.
