Polkadot (DOT) is approaching a key technical decision point as price trades into the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement, which aligns closely with the Point of Control (POC) from the current downtrend. This confluence creates a strong resistance zone where sellers are likely to become active, making a short-term rejection a realistic scenario.

However, such a pullback would not necessarily invalidate the bullish outlook. Instead, it could provide the ideal setup for a healthy continuation. The Value Area Low (VAL), which has already been reclaimed by buyers, now becomes an important support level. A rejection from current resistance followed by a successful retest of this reclaimed VAL would establish a higher low, confirming that buyers continue to absorb selling pressure.

Adding further strength to this scenario is the technical alignment between the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement and the reclaimed value area. This combination often produces strong reaction zones where trends resume after temporary corrections. If buyers successfully defend the higher low, momentum could quickly shift back in favor of the bulls.

From there, the probability increases for DOT to continue higher, with the psychological $1.00 level becoming the next major upside objective in the immediate short term. While some volatility is expected around current resistance, the broader technical structure continues to favor bullish continuation as long as key support levels remain intact.
