Polkadot (DOT) shows potential for a 25% upside to the $2.48 resistance level by month-end, with technical indicators suggesting neutral momentum at current $1.98 price point. The short-term target for DOT over the next week is $2.04. The medium-term forecast calls for a $2.48-$3.30 range, with a bullish breakout at $2.30 and a critical support at $1.88.
Analysts have been notably bullish on DOT’s near-term prospects. Alvin Lang set an initial target of $2.48 resistance by end of January 2026 on January 16, and Iris Coleman projected a $2.48–$3.30 breakout range by month-end on January 18. Most recently, Darius Baruo reinforced the $2.48 resistance test scenario on January 21. The consistency across these forecasts suggests growing confidence in DOT’s ability to break above current trading ranges, reinforcing the $2.48 level as a key technical threshold.
DOT technical analysis shows a mixed but cautiously optimistic picture. Trading at $1.98, DOT sits below its key moving averages, with the 20-period SMA at $2.10 acting as immediate resistance. The RSI at 46.16 indicates neutral momentum, while the MACD histogram remains near zero, suggesting momentum has stalled. Bollinger Bands place DOT near the lower portion of its range around the lower band at $1.89, implying potential mean reversion toward the middle band at $2.10.
The DOT price prediction for January’s remainder points toward a cautiously optimistic scenario. The $2.48 target appears achievable based on both technical setup and analyst consensus.
