According to Çağnur Cessur in a recent post on X, Polkadot (DOT) has been consistently trading within a clearly defined black channel on the monthly chart. This channel is formed by well-established horizontal support and resistance levels, which have been tested numerous times over the past 4 to 5 years.
The range, spanning from $4 on the lower end to around $12 at the top, has effectively boxed in DOT’s price action, shaping a long-term sideways market structure. A clear move beyond this 5-year range, especially on strong volume, could mark the beginning of a new trend, either into price discovery or deeper support levels.
Analysing Price Action Within The Channel
Cessur emphasized in his recent analysis that the green channel shown on the Polkadot chart represents a downtrend that has been in place for nearly four years. This trend has consistently guided the broader market structure, acting as a long-term resistance. However, he noted that if DOT manages to break above this channel, it could set the stage for a major trend reversal to new highs in the months ahead.
He also drew attention to DOT’s short-term outlook, where a red falling channel on the weekly timeframe has just been breached to the upside. According to Cessur, this development is a sign of potential bullish continuation, positioning DOT as one of the altcoins to start an increase.
The analyst concluded that if the asset continues to follow the multi-year pattern of ranging from $4 to $12, another climb toward the top of this range seems likely. Most importantly, if the weekly candle closes above $4.70, he noted that the chances of seeing a swift move toward $10 could increase significantly, supported by growing bullish momentum and historical price behavior.
Bear Case: Losing $4 Might Send Polkadot To All-Time Lows
The bear case for Polkadot revolves around the critical $4 support level, which has been pivotal in maintaining the altcoin’s price structure. If DOT loses the $4 mark, it might signal a deeper bearish move. This would invalidate recent bullish hopes and raise the potential for further declines as market sentiment shifts to a more risk-averse stance.
Such a drop would suggest that the upward momentum observed in recent months could be a false rally, with DOT’s price unable to maintain its position above key support levels. Its failure to hold above $4 may prompt heightened selling pressure, especially when broader market conditions worsen or there’s a loss of confidence in Polkadot’s long-term prospects.
Additionally, a move below this critical support would raise the probability of a retest of all-time lows, which would be a significant bearish development for the token. In this scenario, patience and strategic re-entry points would become key factors for short and long-term holders.

My name is Godspower Owie, and I was born and brought up in Edo State, Nigeria. I grew up with my three siblings who have always been my idols and mentors, helping me to grow and understand the way of life.
My parents are literally the backbone of my story. They’ve always supported me in good and bad times and never for once left my side whenever I feel lost in this world. Honestly, having such amazing parents makes you feel safe and secure, and I won’t trade them for anything else in this world.
I was exposed to the cryptocurrency world 3 years ago and got so interested in knowing so much about it. It all started when a friend of mine invested in a crypto asset, which he yielded massive gains from his investments.
When I confronted him about cryptocurrency he explained his journey so far in the field. It was impressive getting to know about his consistency and dedication in the space despite the risks involved, and these are the major reasons why I got so interested in cryptocurrency.
Trust me, I’ve had my share of experience with the ups and downs in the market but I never for once lost the passion to grow in the field. This is because I believe growth leads to excellence and that’s my goal in the field. And today, I am an employee of Bitcoinnist and NewsBTC news outlets.
My Bosses and co-workers are the best kinds of people I have ever worked with, in and outside the crypto landscape. I intend to give my all working alongside my amazing colleagues for the growth of these companies.
Sometimes I like to picture myself as an explorer, this is because I like visiting new places, I like learning new things (useful things to be precise), I like meeting new people – people who make an impact in my life no matter how little it is.
One of the things I love and enjoy doing the most is football. It will remain my favorite outdoor activity, probably because I’m so good at it. I am also very good at singing, dancing, acting, fashion and others.
I cherish my time, work, family, and loved ones. I mean, those are probably the most important things in anyone’s life. I don’t chase illusions, I chase dreams.
I know there is still a lot about myself that I need to figure out as I strive to become successful in life. I’m certain I will get there because I know I am not a quitter, and I will give my all till the very end to see myself at the top.
I aspire to be a boss someday, having people work under me just as I’ve worked under great people. This is one of my biggest dreams professionally, and one I do not take lightly. Everyone knows the road ahead is not as easy as it looks, but with God Almighty, my family, and shared passion friends, there is no stopping me.
