Polkadot price analysis: DOT prepares for rally above the $4.37 support

Polkadot price analysis shows that price could be set for a breakout in the new year, as it settles above the $4.370 support zone. After declining down to $4.551 on December 16, DOT price has moved above the perpetual support mark at $4.37, even though price declined more than 1 percent over the past 24 hours. On the daily chart, DOT price is in downtrend currently, with bears dominating the market and price forming lower low swings. Similar patterns were seen in August, with price eventually breaking out to hit a bullish high of $9.58 after lowering down to $6.52. The current bearish run could hold a similar breakout for DOT.
