Technical analysis by ThetaNomad about Symbol DOT: Buy recommendation (11/25/2025)

Traders, $Polkadot is close to forming a high probability long setup, but it is not confirmed yet. Here is the compact breakdown. WHY DOT IS SETTING UP Since 08 November price has been grinding down Spot CVD, Coin Margined CVD and Stablecoin Margined CVD all fell with price which confirms real sell pressure On 21 November the lows were swept Today price tapped 2.220, the pivot level, and reacted But we are still trading below 2.250, which means the squeeze setup is not active yet Why the sweep matters On Bybit around 915k Coin Margined short contracts opened into the low. Coin Margined shorts use DOT as collateral which means when DOT rises they take a double hit. The short loses value and their collateral also loses value. This makes them far easier to liquidate once price reverses. But price must reclaim the key level to trigger this effect. THE KEY LEVELS 2.220 = the pivot This is where price reacted This is the 1.113 extension of the 04 November to 08 November move This marks the completion of the downside rotation 2.250 = the trigger This is the level price must reclaim and trade above Above 2.250 shorts begin to go underwater Above 2.250 the squeeze becomes active Until $Polkadot trades above 2.250 the setup remains unconfirmed. GAMEPLAN Wait for two 30 minute candle closes above 2.250 This confirms the reclaim and activates the long setup Look for a retest of the 2.240 to 2.250 zone If buyers defend that retest it is the clean entry As long as DOT stays below 2.250 this is only a potential setup Falling back under 2.200 weakens the idea and requires reassessment TARGETS IF CONFIRMED If $Polkadot reclaims 2.250 the upside targets are: 3.675 3.877 4.063 4.327 Each level is a point to reassess momentum and structure. FINAL VIEW DOT swept the lows and trapped a large block of Coin Margined shorts. The pivot at 2.220 has been touched, but the real trigger is 2.250. Only once price reclaims and trades above 2.250 does the squeeze structure become active. Until then it remains a potential high probability setup that requires confirmation. Until the candles speak again, ThetaNomad ----------- If this helped you read the flow, drop a like and a comment None of this is financial adviceGot in at 2.1800. Will add more above 2.2800.Price reclaimed daily VWAP now.#DOT #TradingRecap Let’s recap yesterday’s trade. I laid out the entire plan while the chart was drowning in red, and yet the structure played out with pixel accuracy. Longed at $2.1818 Planned the entry beforehand, live here on TradingView. Highlighted the trapped shorts Pointed out how Bybit shorters are typically self-sabotaging. -> Described the move step-by-step: -> impulse → reclaim → retest of 2.250 → continuation. And yes, it played out to the pixel -> Moved my stop to break-even, turning the rest into a free ride -> Whatever happens next, my job is already done. -> I can’t lose anymore — the rest is just the market whispering its own story.And this is why you always put your SL slightly in profit or at break-even. Got stopped out, but with a small profit!
