DOT has had an impressive ascent over the last few days. However, one thing is becoming increasingly clear: DOT’s next move depends on BTC. Should BTC falter, it threatens to cast a shadow over DOT's journey. Let’s dive in!

TLDR

  • DOT's technical analysis reveals a potential breakout from a major downtrend, surpassing a key resistance at $4.22.
  • While encountering resistance around $4.40-$4.50, the RSI indicates room for further growth.
  • Positive funding rates signal a shift in market sentiment towards longing smaller cap coins.
  • However, caution is advised, as DOT's fate remains intertwined with Bitcoin's performance.

Technical analysis

DOT is attempting to break out of its major downtrend line, and so far, DOT has done well to climb above its horizontal resistance of $4.22. 

However, sellers have begun showing up in the $4.40s to $4.50s area, in line with sellers showing up for BTC at its resistance area of $34,500. 

If DOT can hold above $4.22, and BTC can avoid a more meaningful pullback, then DOT could push onto the $4.60s in the near term. 

RSI and funding rates

The RSI is good. It is at 65, so close to overbought but nowhere near over-extended. If BTC can hold up, DOT is set up well to move higher.

The funding rate is very positive for the first time in a long time. This shows a shift in market sentiment from shorting these smaller cap coins to now wanting to long them. Despite this, we feel DOT can move higher, although this depends on BTC holding up. 

Cryptonary’s take

As far as trading altcoins go, we like DOT’s setup. The risk is if BTC breaks down, it will likely drag altcoins lower. But, if BTC holds up, then DOT will go higher in the near term. 

Action

  • We’re not trading this as we’re hesitant around BTC and what impact that might have on the general market if it does pullback further.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
