The analysis highlights Polkadot (DOTUSDT) navigating a critical phase around the $2.178 mark, as observed on the daily chart. After experiencing a significant rejection from bull market exponential moving averages (EMAs) near $11 in late 2025, the asset has trended downward. However, DOT has consistently demonstrated adherence to established horizontal support levels. The current market action suggests a renewed bullish impetus, aiming to overcome the resistance cluster between $2.1 and $2.5. A successful and sustained breakout above this critical zone is anticipated to trigger a gradual upward trajectory, targeting the $4.50 level, which corresponds to previous resistance within its historical trading channels. Conversely, a failure to hold prices above $2.1 would invalidate the projected bullish scenario, establishing a decisive fail-bound price at $1.480 and signaling a potential return to a bearish market structure. Complementary macro analysis, conducted on weekly charts of USDT Dominance, BTC Dominance, and total crypto market capitalization, indicates conditions conducive to altcoin growth. A projected decrease in USDT Dominance, coupled with an anticipated fall in BTC Dominance following a recent upward 'fake-out,' is expected to usher in an altcoin season. The total crypto market cap, excluding Bitcoin, is currently resting on a substantial support level, suggesting an imminent surge in liquidity that could propel altcoin valuations toward $2.4 trillion.
