Polkadot price overview: Polkadot price across January
Polkadot price started the year on a low note as the price continued to consolidate around the $8.50 mark. The price action remained glued to the mark for the first 13 days of January before it found bullish support rising above the $10.00 mark. Since rising above the price level, Polkadot moved sharply to the $15.00 mark before meeting strong resistance.
DOT was rejected at the price level, causing the Polkadot price to fall back to the $12.50 support level. The price made another attempt at climbing above and succeeded in rising to the $17.50 mark. Since then, the price action has failed to climb any higher and continues to trade below the level.

What to expect from Polkadot price?
Traders should expect Polkadot price to rise to the $18.00 resistance mark as the price heads to the $20.00 mark. The supportive technical indicators and the rising trade volume suggest a breakout above the mark towards the $19.00 level. DOT should climb to the $20.00 mark in the next few days.
Conversely, if Polkadot price falls below the $16.00 mark, DOT might fall to the $15.00 support level. Further downwards movement may mean a drop to the $12.50 price level. However, that is unlikely considering the strong bullish sentiment and the positive technical indicators.
