The model showed that trading volumes surged 284% above the moving average during the breakout phase before declining as prices settled back toward $2.20.

The token demonstrated measured institutional participation rather than aggressive accumulation, the model said.

Overall 24-hour volumes ran 31% below weekly averages despite the intraday volatility, indicating selective rather than broad-based buying interest across the session, according to the model.

DOT's performance tracked broader cryptocurrency market dynamics with minimal divergence from sector sentiment.

The broader market gauge, the CoinDesk 20 index, was 2.4% higher at publication time.

Technical Analysis:

• Primary support confirmed at $2.19 with aggressive institutional buying on dips
• Resistance at $2.39 near the session peaks
• Current range of $0.20 represents 8.9% trading bandwidth indicating elevated volatility
• Exceptional spike to 15.89 million tokens during breakout phase versus 2.81 million average
• V-shaped recovery pattern confirms buyer presence at support levels
• Range compression around $2.19-$2.20 establishes near-term consolidation
• Higher lows structure maintains constructive technical bias
• Downside risk contained near $2.19 support level
• Upside targets remain at $2.39 resistance pending volume confirmation
