Is Polkadot eyeing $100 next? DOT price jumps 25%, triggering classic bullish all time pattern

The bullish outlook appears as Polkadot prepares to auction highly anticipated parachain slots on its network.








Polkadot’s native DOT token looks poised to rally toward $100 in the coming sessions as it triggers a classic bullish reversal setup.

Dubbed “inverse head and shoulders” (IH&S), the technical structure appears when an instrument forms three troughs in a row, with the middle one — called the head — being the lowest and the other two — known as the right and left shoulders — of almost equal heights.

Meanwhile, the level at which all the troughs top out represents the “neckline.”

So, it appears DOT has been forming an IH&S ever since its price correction from the $43–$49 price range (neckline), as shown in the chart below. On Nov. 1, the Polkadot token broke above the area and continued rallying the next day to bring its month-to-date returns to almost 25% while bumping its record high to $53.35

The price jump accompanied an increase in trading volumes, showing that traders supported the move above the IH&S neckline. As a result, DOT’s prospects of rising by as much as the maximum distance between its IH&S’s head and neckline (around $39) improved.

As a result, DOT’s profit target out of its IH&S setup comes out to be near $90, with possibilities of extended rallies toward $100, a psychological resistance level.

Parachain Auction FOMO

DOT’s latest price rally came as traders’ focus shifted to its highly anticipated parachain auctions on or around Nov. 11.

The Polkadot team announced on Nov. 1 that its council passed the motion that enables parachain registrations and crowd loans beginning Nov. 4, adding that the proposal now awaits a go-ahead via a public referendum.

In detail, crowdloans enable rivaling projects to raise capital via DOT to bootstrap their parachain auctions.

Those who support the projects lock their DOT into a sponsored account for a predefined period. In return, they receive rewards in the form of air-dropped tokens from the project competing for the parachain slot.

KSM Fractal

In June, Polkadot’s test-net chain, dubbed Kusama, conducted a similar parachain slot auction. The protocol ended up proving the effectiveness of the crowd loan mechanism, as users contributed more than 1.11 million KSM across the five parachain auctions.

KSM’s price rallied in the days leading up to the auction in June. It peaked out on May 16 at around $645 and then dropped over 78% to $138.50 two months later. The sell-off also surfaced amid an overall crypto market decline, led by China's full-fledged ban on crypto activities.

Hence, it appears DOT has also been undergoing a so-called “buy-the-rumor” price rally as traders bet higher on the parachain auction event. But in the absence of a China-like event, the cryptocurrency looks to be pursuing the IH&S setup mentioned above.

Platform Aims To Revolutionize The Marketing Ticket With Blockchain And NFTs

With NFTs and blockchain technology, artists are empowered to monetize the secondary market and eliminate ticket fraud. The music industry is dominated by scalpers who are looking for arbitrage opportunities to resell tickets. Although the phenomenon is not new, it has only become more apparent with the impact of the pandemic, making the market even more centralized than it had been previously. The sad reality is, now artists’ insiders, automated bots, partnerships with second-hand ticket retailers and those looking to make ticket resales their business have used these actions for their own personal gain. Unfortunately, many still do not recognize the impact this has on their favorite artists. The result has been that artists now have a more difficult time making a decent living. Typically an artist's album sales will go directly to their label, making them more reliant on revenue from performing live shows, which is further amplified by artists who will lose out on a good chunk of...

One Of The Metaverse’s Big 3 Companies Grows Over 1000% In A Year

Teams pioneering the metaverse concept are faced with the task of defining this unknown territory. Understanding the metaverse concept is complex, especially since it doesn't necessarily exist yet, although many industry pioneers are coming close. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected with services, products and capabilities melding together into a single experience, the metaverse, in turn, becomes a clear successor to the internet and a concept that is close in reach. However, defining the concept remains blurry, with many people's first instincts being shaped by fictional movies. Although some aspects of this concept may be similar, the projects pioneering this space in the real world are the ones that hold the power to determine what this "metaverse" concept really looks like and make it a reality for the everyday user. With the metaverse, many believe a future is in store where people are increasingly interconnected with others, regardless of location a...
