Polkadot Plunges 11% Breaking Below $2.05 Support Level Amid Broader SelloffDOT collapsed to $2.02 as technical breakdown accelerated on massive volume, exposing the psychological $2.00 level. Dec 1, 2025, 1:37 pm

DOT$2.0246 crashed through critical support on Monday, sending the token to $2.02 from $2.27 in a sharp technical breakdown, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis model.

The 11.4% decline ranks among the worst single-session losses for the ecosystem token this year, the model said. The volume surged to 14.6 million tokens, 280% above the 24-hour average, as sellers overwhelmed buyers.

The model showed that the breakdown gained momentum during overnight trading, as DOT fell through the $2.05 support level at midnight.

Recovery attempts failed repeatedly, and buyers could not reclaim even modest levels around $2.09 and $2.06, confirming the shift to bearish momentum through relentless selling pressure, according to the model.

The selloff exposes the critical $2.00 psychological level as the next major downside target.

Wider crypto markets also fell, with the CoinDesk 20 index, lower by 7.5%.

Technical Analysis:

  • Primary resistance now sits at $2.27
  • Secondary resistance caps recovery at $2.09-$2.06 range
  • Critical support target at $2.00 psychological level
  • Exceptional volume surge to 14.56 million during midnight breakdown (280% above average)
  • Sustained elevated volume throughout the decline validates bearish momentum
  • Decisive breakdown from consolidation range with gap creation
  • Failed recovery attempts creating lower highs at $2.09, $2.06
  • A momentum cascade pattern emerges in the final trading hour
  • Technical structure turns bearish with resistance capping upside
  • Immediate downside target: $2.00 psychological support level
  • Recovery resistance: $2.09 must be reclaimed for short-term stabilization
  • Current risk/reward favors continued downside until volume stabilizes
