DOT is looking primed for further upside here.

Post Feature Image

First target of $6.75, and then $8.00.

We would be buyers of pullbacks to $5.80.

Despite the Funding Rate settling shy of 0.02%, OI remains low, so overall, it is a nice mechanics setup here.

TLDR

  • Polkadot broke out above $5.75 resistance, eyeing upside targets of $6.77 and $8.
  • Funding elevated around 0.02%, but open interest remains low compared to the 2022 peak.
  • The RSI is approaching overbought levels on higher timeframes, something to monitor.

Technical analysis

  • DOT has maintained its uptrend, which has been important for continued bullish price action.
  • DOT has now broken out above the horizontal resistance of $5.75, with the next target likely $6.77. 
  • The second target to the upside is $7.98.
  • The RSI is now just about into overbought territory on the major timeframes except the Weekly. This is fine for now unless we begin to see it becoming too over-extended.
  • We would be looking to add light DCA orders to our Spot DOT bags at $5.77. 

Market mechanics

  • Open Interest remains at low levels of $210m; this is well below the highs in 2022 of north of $600m. We’re yet to see an influx of leverage into DOT - a positive sign that you’re still early on this.  
  • The OI-Weighted Funding Rate has sat at a relatively high level of 0.02% for the last few days, indicating a bias to be Long rather than Short. This is perhaps the only negative for DOT here. But it’s not so negative that it invalidates our bullish thesis.  

Cryptonary’s take

We really like DOT here for further upside. The TA is positive, the volume is good, and the OI remains low, indicating that participants are yet to really flock into DOT as they have with other plays.

We see the next targets for DOT as $6.77 and $8.00. We would look to add light DCA orders to DOT at $5.77 if this level is retested, where we’d hope it would hold as new support.

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. Everything is timestamped and public record.

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.

Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
