On May 28, 2025, the 1-hour DOT/USD chart on Coinbase formed an ascending triangle pattern. This pattern is a consolidation setup where the price makes higher lows while facing horizontal resistance, often suggesting bullish continuation—unless it breaks downward.
However, in this chart, the ascending triangle appears after a sharp downward move, marking it as a bearish continuation pattern.
If confirmed, the breakdown from this pattern could trigger a 15% drop from the current price of $4.642 to the projected target around $3.932.
The 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA), currently at $4.546, sits just below the breakout zone, offering temporary support. However, price action has already broken out of the triangle top slightly, so confirmation will depend on volume and candle close strength.
The previous sharp decline (flagpole) strengthens the bearish setup. Volume remains weak, and any strong selling pressure could validate the downward breakout.
Therefore, if DOT fails to hold above the triangle and retests the lower trendline, a drop to $3.932 is likely.
DOT RSI Nears Key Level as Momentum Builds – May 28, 2025
This is the 14-period Relative Strength Index (RSI) chart for Polkadot (DOT) as of May 28, 2025. The RSI line (purple) currently reads 61.17, while its moving average (yellow) stands at 53.20.
The RSI remains below the overbought threshold of 70, which shows that DOT is gaining momentum but has not yet entered overheated conditions. This level suggests moderate bullish strength.
Previously, the RSI bounced between 30 and 70, staying within the neutral zone. However, after May 26, it crossed above the moving average and moved past 60. This signals improving momentum and growing buyer interest.
Still, the RSI has not made a new high above the recent peaks from May 22 or May 23. Therefore, while strength is returning, it lacks confirmation of strong bullish dominance.
If RSI crosses 70 next, it would signal overbought conditions and raise the risk of a pullback. Until then, the market shows cautious optimism.
Polkadot Builds Interoperability While Lightchain AI Gains Early Presale Momentum
Meanwhile, Polkadot continued its progress on cross-chain interoperability, focusing on stable infrastructure development. At the same time, Lightchain AI emerged as a rising project in the presale market. With no exchange listing yet, Lightchain AI attracted early buyers through its Bonus Round, offering tokens at $0.007. The project has already raised $20.8 million.
Unlike Polkadot’s deliberate development pace, Lightchain AI is gaining momentum through timing and entry positioning. Its infrastructure supports decentralized AI execution, privacy-focused data processing, and on-chain governance. These features have drawn early interest from investors who see value in participating before the token lists publicly.
Lightchain AI completed 15 presale stages and now operates in a Bonus Round that continues to see steady participation. Early buyers are entering based on the project’s technical setup and low price point, not because of marketing hype. With $20.8 million raised, Lightchain AI is becoming one of the most watched early-stage protocols of 2025.
Presale buyers are not only looking for price gains. They are backing a system built for intelligent computation, transparent upgrades, and scalable infrastructure. While Polkadot leads in interoperability, Lightchain AI offers a different kind of value—speed, novelty, and the opportunity to enter early before exchange listings begin.
