Price analysis 8/23: BTC, ETH, BNB, XRP, ADA, SOL, DOGE, DOT, MATIC, SHIB

When the markets are trending, traders should be active if they want to earn money. On the other hand, in a ranging market, it is better to wait on the sidelines with patience, or else traders may lose money due to choppy random moves in either direction.

Polkadot price analysis

The bears tried to tug Polkadot (DOT) below the vital support at $4.22, but the bulls held their ground as seen from the long tail on the Aug. 22 candlestick.

The 20-day EMA ($4.73) is turning down and the RSI is in the negative zone, indicating that bears hold the edge. If buyers want to signal a comeback, they will have to propel the price above the overhead zone between $4.56 and the 20-day EMA.

Meanwhile, the bears are likely to have other plans. They will try to sell on minor rallies and pull the price below $4.22. If they succeed, the DOT/USDT pair could start the next leg of the downtrend. The next support is at $4.

Polygon price analysis

Polygon (MATIC) snapped back from $0.53 on Aug. 22, indicating that the bulls are trying to keep the price above the crucial support at $0.51.

The bulls have their task cut out because they are likely to face strong selling at $0.60. If the price turns down from this resistance, it will suggest that bears are active at higher levels. That may keep the MATIC/USDT pair stuck inside the $0.51 to $0.60 range for a few days.

A break and close below $0.50 will signal the resumption of the downtrend. The pair could then tumble to $0.45 and later to $0.42. On the contrary, a rally above $0.60 could set up a rally to $0.65 and then to $0.69.

Shiba Inu price analysis

Shiba Inu (SHIB) fell below the 50-day SMA ($0.0000084) on Aug. 20, but the bulls did not allow the price to retest the important support at $0.0000072.

The solid bounce on Aug. 22 shows strong buying at lower levels. The bulls will next attempt a rally above the moving averages. If they can pull it off, the SHIB/USDT pair may pick up momentum and soar toward $0.000011.

Conversely, if the price turns down from the moving averages, it will suggest that the bears remain in control. The pair could then collapse to the strong support at $0.0000072 and subsequently to $0.0000064.
