Today's short-term outlook for DOT shows sideways dominance; consolidation continues around 1.92$, critical support and resistance levels should be closely monitored. Focus on trigger points for quick momentum changes.

Short-Term Market Outlook

DOT is trading at 1.92$ as of January 24, 2026, recording a slight 0.21% increase in the last 24 hours. The daily range remained limited between 1.90$ - 1.98$, with volume at a medium level of 83.02M$. The short-term trend can be defined as sideways; the price continues to stay below EMA20 (1.94$), which gives a bearish short-term signal. RSI at 39.79 is approaching oversold, but not yet producing a strong buy signal. A positive histogram is observed in MACD, indicating mild bullish momentum, however Supertrend is bearish and shows 2.03$ resistance.

In the multi-timeframe (MTF) context, a total of 13 strong levels were detected across 1D/3D/1W timeframes: 2 supports/3 resistances in 1D, 1 support/2 resistances in 3D, 3 supports/4 resistances in 1W. These levels will play a critical role in the next 24-48 hours. There are no significant developments in the news flow, so technical levels are in the forefront. Short-term targets stand out at 2.0771$ above (score 48) and 1.6530$ below (score 28). Scalping opportunities are limited for active traders; risk management is essential.

Intraday Critical Levels

Nearby Support Zones

The strongest support immediately below is at 1.9163$ (score 86/100), above the intraday lows (1.90$) and ideal for a quick test. The second level is 1.8790$ (score 66/100); if broken, 1.6530$ (score 65/100) comes into play. These supports trigger the bearish scenario with a close below 1.9163$ within 24 hours as the invalidation point. For scalpers, watch the 1.9163$-1.92$ bounce zone, keep stop-loss tight below 1.91$.

Nearby Resistance Zones

The first resistance above is at 1.9397$ (score 70/100), coinciding with EMA20 and testable before the intraday highs (1.98$). Followed by 1.9784$ (score 61/100) and 1.9990$ (score 72/100). Breaking these levels accelerates momentum, with a close above 1.9397$ required for invalidation. Look for volume increase on resistance tests, otherwise false breakout risk is high.

Momentum and Speed Analysis

Short-term momentum is mixed: RSI at 39.79 in neutral-bearish territory, but MACD histogram is expanding positively, signaling mild recovery on the 4-hour timeframe. Combined with Supertrend's bearish signal, upward moves may remain limited. In speed analysis via volume profile, the 1.92$-1.94$ range stands out as the high volume node POC (Point of Control). Monitor RSI divergences for sudden spikes; currently, there's oversold bounce potential but weak under BTC pressure. Momentum over the next 24-48 hours will clarify at 1.9163$ support or 1.9397$ resistance. For scalping, 15min RSI >50 crossover gives long bias, <30 short bias.

Short-Term Scenarios

Upside Scenario

Bullish scenario: If price breaks 1.9397$ resistance with an hourly close, targets are 1.9784$ and 1.9990$; beyond that, 2.0771$ is possible. Trigger: Voluminous breakout and RSI >50. Cancellation: Drop below 1.9163$. In this scenario, long scalping can be considered via DOT Spot Analysis, with 1:2 risk/reward at 1.93$ entry, 1.91$ stop.

Downside Scenario

Bearish scenario: If 1.9163$ support breaks, quick drop to 1.8790$; continuation to 1.6530$. Trigger: Low-volume break and MACD histogram contraction. Cancellation: Recovery above 1.94$. In this case, short opportunities can be sought via DOT Futures Analysis, tight stop at 1.93$ for leveraged trades. High risk, limit capital to 1-2%.

Bitcoin Correlation

BTC is sideways around 89,450$ currently, stable with 0.41% up in 24 hours. Due to DOT's high correlation with BTC (typical altcoin behavior), BTC supports at 88,888$ and 87,635$ are critical; if broken, DOT's test of 1.9163$ accelerates. BTC resistances at 89,691$, 91,185$ – with BTC Supertrend bearish, caution for altcoins: DOT should wait for BTC above 90K confirmation on upside moves. BTC dominance increase could pressure DOT, sideways continuation likely.

Daily Summary and Monitoring Points

Today's main watch for DOT: 1.9163$ support and 1.9397$ resistance; await sideways breakout. Momentum with positive MACD but bearish Supertrend, RSI bounce potential exists. Risk: Short-term trades carry high volatility, set 1% risk limit per trade, exit with quick invalidations. No news flow, technicals dominate. Key points: Hold above 1.9163$ for long bias, break for short; BTC above 89.5K boosts DOT. Use links for detailed spot/futures. Short-term trading is high risk, prioritize capital management.
