What can we expect from Polkadot today?

Looking ahead for the day, immediate support level is at 8.07 (S1) with break below could see further selling pressure towards 7.77 (S2). For potential buyers, as the current momentum is falling, we prefer to look at firm break of the recent daily high of 9.17 as an important indicator of buying interest. Failure to break the resistance level would continue to echo bearish sentiment. Polkadot need to break on either side to indicate a short-term bias. A close below 8.32 would indicate selling pressure.

For the week to-date, take note that Polkadot is falling as the pair posted lower, down by -5.58%. Prior performance for the week ending 2022-08-14 was 3.58%.

About Polkadot

Polkadot is a platform that allows diverse blockchains to transfer messages, including value, in a trust-free fashion; sharing their unique features while pooling their security. In brief, Polkadot is a scalable heterogeneous multi-chain technology.Polkadot is heterogeneous because it is entirely flexible and makes no assumption about the nature or structure of the chains in the network. Even non-blockchain systems or data structures can become parachains if they fulfill a set of criteria.Polkadot may be considered equivalent to a set of independent chains (e.g. a set containing Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Namecoin and Bitcoin) except with important additions: pooled security and trust-free interchain transactability.Many of the native parachains of Polkadot will be written using a Polkadot Runtime Environment SDK (e.g. Parity Technologies’ Substrate).
