<h2><b>Day-Ahead and Tomorrow</b></h2>
Currently, DOT is trading at $40.17. The price has increased from the day’s opening price of $39.98. Thus, the market seems to be healthy.

The <strong>MACD and signal lines</strong> have turned negative. Moreover, a bearish crossover by the MACD line over the signal line has occurred. Thus, the overall market momentum is bearish. Hence, we can expect the price to start falling.

Currently, the <strong>RSI indicator</strong> is at 45%. It has faced rejection at 47% and fallen to the current level. Thus, selling pressures are high. Hence, the price is likely to drop further.

The <strong>OBV indicator</strong> has fallen steeply too. This implies that selling volumes are much higher than buying volumes. Heavy offloading activity will exert downward pressure on the DOT price. In a nutshell, all three indicators have given bearish signals. Thus, the price is likely to start declining.
<h2><b>DOT Technical Analysis</b></h2>
The price has currently fallen below the <strong>Fibonacci pivot point</strong> of $40.52. By the end of the day, the price may fall below the three support levels of $39.69, $39.17, and $38.35, respectively.

The price has tested and fallen below the <strong>23.6% FIB retracement level</strong> of $40.21. It may soon fall below the <strong>23.6% FIB extension level</strong> of $39.17. Thus, the bears are strong, and the price downtrend is likely to continue tomorrow as well.
