Polkadot Approaches Breakout As $4.07 Resistance Holds and $3.86 Support Remains Firm

DOT trades at $4.04 with a 6.7% weekly gain, testing resistance at $4.07.

Strong support at $3.86 has consistently held, limiting downside moves.

Chart setup suggests potential breakout path toward $6.00 if resistance clears.

Polkadot (DOT) is showing new technical strength as it hovers close to a key resistance level. The token currently stands at $4.04, 6.7% higher in the past week. Meanwhile, DOT trades at 0.00003605 BTC, up 3.8%, and 0.0009334 ETH, 4.0% higher. These price movements have been accompanied by increasing attention on a downtrending resistance line that has capped momentum for several months. A potential break from here could assist in defining a more distinct trading pattern for days to come.

Resistance at $4.07 Defines Current Barrier

Price action indicates that $4.07 acts as the immediate resistance. Over recent sessions, DOT has tested this zone but failed to secure a close above it. Every effort has resulted in a pullback, despite price recovering rapidly

On the negative side, the $3.86 support has brought a very stable price as it has cushioned the falls and kept the short-term organization. This repeated interaction between support and resistance highlights the narrowing range that traders are monitoring closely.

Technical Formation Suggests Breakout Potential

A downward trendline that stretches over a longer period with previous highs is visible now cutting over the present resistance area. DOT has approached this level multiple times, and the structure shows signs of compression

Notably, the narrowing range typically precedes decisive moves, although confirmation remains pending. The chart projection identifies a potential pathway toward the $6.00 level if a sustained break above resistance occurs. However, as of now, DOT remains capped within its established formation.

Market Conditions Show Increasing Price Stability

Despite repeated resistance tests, DOT has preserved stability within its defined range. The recent trading sessions have experienced smaller pullbacks and faster rebounds indicating the stable activity in the markets

Contained volatility is represented by the 24-hour range between $3.98 and $4.07, so it fits well within the technical wedge formation. Such tightening actions show that the market is still in the state of controlled compression. Whether the price moves beyond the resistance or it is back in support, the levels are well defined to observe.
