DOT · 1H · DOWNTREND
Price has been grinding lower since the ~0.980 highs in late June, printing a clear sequence of lower highs and lower lows across the entire visible range. The most recent structure is telling — DOT dumped hard into the 0.800 area around July 19-20, then bounced back to current levels near 0.856, which lines up almost exactly with the prior consolidation zone that acted as support in early-mid July before breaking down. That's now flipped to resistance. I'm reading this bounce as a bear flag / dead cat into a key level, and I'm not interested in chasing the long side here — the dominant structure is too clean to fade.
The live news context pulled for DOT contains no relevant fundamental headlines, so this is a pure technical read.
SHORT SCENARIO
Confirmation
0.856
Rejection at 0.856–0.860 resistance zone with a close back below 0.845 confirms bearish continuation — price failing to reclaim this former support-turned-resistance is the signal I need.
Invalidation
0.880
Structure invalidated on a sustained close above 0.880, which would mark a new higher high in the bounce sequence and negate the bear thesis.
Target 1
0.820
The mid-range support shelf where price consolidated briefly before the final leg down.
Target 2
0.800
The structural swing low printed July 19-20, full retest.
Risk/Reward
(0.845 - 0.820) / (0.880 - 0.845) = 0.025 / 0.035 ≈ 0.7:1 from confirmation, improves meaningfully toward 2:1 if entry is tightened on a clean rejection wick at 0.860
Resistance: 0.856–0.860 / 0.880–0.900
Support: 0.820 / 0.800
