The cryptocurrency market is once again facing bearish volatility, driven by mounting geopolitical tensions between Israel and Iran. Ethereum (ETH) has dropped by 7% over the past week, now trading near $2,530. Unsurprisingly, altcoins have also taken a hit — and Polkadot (DOT) is among those seeing noticeable losses.
DOT posted a weekly drop of 12%, deepening its monthly correction to around 21%. However, beyond the red candles, there may be a more optimistic story unfolding — one that reflects a powerful fractal from DOT’s own past.

Fractal Suggests Bullish Reversal Ahead
A closer look at DOT’s weekly chart reveals a striking similarity to its price action from late 2024. Back then, DOT experienced a lengthy downtrend that concluded in a textbook falling wedge formation. This was followed by a short consolidation phase inside a smaller wedge pattern — before igniting an explosive 171% rally to the upside.

Interestingly, the current structure looks almost identical.
Once again, DOT has undergone a prolonged downtrend, culminating in a major falling wedge. A breakout from this wedge has already begun, and the price is now consolidating within another smaller falling wedge — a setup that mirrors the previous bullish breakout.
What’s Next for DOT?
If history is any guide, and this fractal repeats, DOT could be on the cusp of another major upside move. A decisive breakout — particularly one that clears the 50-week moving average — could open the doors to a rally toward $11 or more, testing the descending resistance trendline.
Still, caution is warranted. While the technical setup is promising, confirmation remains essential — especially in recent uncertain global environment. If the breakout fails to gather momentum or gets rejected, DOT could see another leg down.
