cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that Polkadot price is showing a potential bullish reversal as an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern develops, with $1.05 serving as a key neckline. The outlet notes that network activity recently surged 40%, although low transaction throughput highlights the need for sustained user adoption and application growth. This technical setup suggests a potential shift in momentum for the asset. The report identifies specific price levels and network metrics as key indicators for the current market phase.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for DOT, measured when this story was written up on 2 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
DOT is currently trading at $0.8720 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 56.0%, indicating that buyers are currently dominating the immediate short-term flow. This contrasts with the 4-hour buy ratio of 48.7% and the 24-hour buy ratio of 44.1%, showing that buying pressure is fading as the timeframe extends. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$59,230, while the 4-hour delta is negative at -$34,968 and the 24-hour delta is -$799,993. A positive volume delta means more money is flowing into spot buys than sells, while a negative delta indicates net selling pressure. Over the last 24 hours, net buying occurred for only 7 of the 24 hours, with a cumulative CVD of -$744,704.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.4% sits at the 73rd percentile of the last 281 days, against a median of 48.9% - stronger buying than most days.
