In the cryptocurrency market within the last few hours, major altcoins have been making impressive gains following Ethereum’s (ETH) breakout and a decline in Bitcoin (BTC) dominance, which now stands at 58.94%.

Following this, top altcoins , including Polkadot (DOT), are also gaining traction, showing noticeable upward momentum.

However, a promising technical pattern suggests that a potential bullish reversal could be on the horizon, as highlighted by chart analyst @bitamberly .

Analyst Insight

According to analyst , DOT is forming a falling wedge pattern on the 8-hour timeframe. This is considered a bullish technical structure that often precedes strong upward moves. The price is currently trdaing at $6.40 level and testing the 50-period moving average (MA 50) and approaching the descending wedge resistance.

A confirmed breakout from this pattern could trigger a strong rally, potentially pushing DOT toward key price levels. If the breakout is successful, DOT could first target $7.60, followed by a stronger resistance zone at $8.04, with the major breakout target sitting at $9.40.

On the downside, failure to break above the wedge resistance could result in another retest of the support zone near $5.58, where buyers may attempt to defend the price.

Final Thoughts

With Ethereum’s breakout acting as a major catalyst for the altcoin market and Bitcoin dominance dropping to under 59%, the market is showing strong bullish momentum. If DOT successfully breaks above the falling wedge resistance, it could see significant upside potential, following the broader altcoin rally.

However, traders should remain cautious and watch for confirmation signals before making any decisions.
