Polkadot price shows bears are in control of the market. A steep decline could occur if the technicals are correct.

Polkadot price due for a purge

Polkadot price breach of the triangular consolidation spells for a disastrous decline in the coming days. The coiling triangle, which began on May 11th, projects a 35% decline in the making. DOT price has displayed considerable volume throughout the last few weeks, which further confounds a future mudslide.

Polkadot price, like several cryptocurrencies, has been rejected from bullish support on the Relative Strength Index. When combined, a decline to $5 holds merit. Polkadot price could begin a steep decline with a challenging opportunity for a bearish entry.

Invalidation of the bearish downtrend is a breadth above $9.60. If the bulls can breach this level, a rise to $11 could result in a 25% increase from the current Polkadot price.
