Polkadot ascended past the $4.8 level with strength. The Directional Movement Index showed a strong uptrend on the 4-hour timeframe, with the ADX (yellow) well above the 20 discretionary value traders use to filter for significant trends.
The +DMI (blue) was also soaring alongside, to show the bullish nature of the trend.
The price broke past the $5 level apace at the time of writing and based on the session close and the trade volume garnered, there would be a good likelihood of $5.2 resistance being tested and possibly flipped to support over the next few hours as the Stochastic RSI was not yet in the overbought region.
In related news, Bitfinex added Polkadot as collateral in its peer-to-peer digital token lending/borrowing platform, Bitfinex Borrow.
Aave [AAVE]

In the short-term, AAVE was in an uptrend with a region of supply at $94. The price was trading within an ascending channel. A candle close beneath the channel could see the price drop to $74 support.
However, the OBV showed steadily rising buying volume to back AAVE’s ascent and there was no wave of selling yet to spark a drop. The RSI also retested the neutral 50 and rose upward to denote an uptrend.
On the longer time-frame, the strength of AAVE’s movement upward has decreased. This is to be expected and is a natural part of the market cycle, and it remains to be seen if $100 will be breached before an eventual correction occurs.
Dogecoin [DOGE]
