With Bitcoin's price experiencing minimal global changes for several weeks, it's an opportune moment to delve into the market dynamics of altcoins. Here’s an in-depth review of Tron (TRX) and Polkadot (DOT) for Thursday, January 18.
Tron (TRX)
TRX is maintaining its strong upward momentum. Recently, the asset hit a yearly high at $0.117, followed by a slight retraction towards its nearest support level.
At present, the TRX price is fluctuating between the buying zone of $0.105–$0.107 and the resistance level at $0.111. Given Tron's potential for continued growth, a test of the higher sell zones at $0.114–$0.117 is anticipated soon, possibly leading to a new yearly high above $0.12.
A downward correction might only ensue if Bitcoin experiences a similar trend. In this scenario, TRX could potentially descend to the $0.101 support level and reach new local lows in the $0.095–$0.099 range.

Polkadot (DOT)
Since the last analysis, Polkadot's price has remained relatively stable. The asset is oscillating between the support range of $6.34–$6.85 and the resistance area of $7.88–$8.20, leaving its future trajectory somewhat ambiguous.
Should BTC remain stable without major corrections, DOT might embark on a strong upward movement. Target resistance levels for buyers in this scenario would be $8.46, followed by $8.74–$9.18 and eventually $9.60.
Although the possibility of a significant correction for Polkadot is currently considered low, it cannot be entirely discounted. If the price falls below $6.3, DOT might explore lower zones, potentially testing supports at $5.90 and $5.46.
