As Bitcoin hit the $57,000-mark, it had a domino effect on the altcoins as most cryptos suppressed. Polkadot and Bitcoin Cash were no exceptions, as they saw their weekly lows on 18 November. Their near-term technicals, however, affirm the chances of an upturn.
On the contrary, Avalanche defied the market tendencies by marking a 22.5% weekly ROI.

Since late September, DOT price action undertook a steady rise as the price moved along the parallel channel (white). Accordingly, DOT witnessed a 104% rally over the next 35 days to poke its ATH at $55.09 on 4 November.
However, DOT bears retaliated as the price saw a nearly 31% correction until it touched its five-week low on 18 November. Over the past week, the bears exhibited sustained pressure as the price fell below its 4-hour 20-50-200 SMA.
While bears ensured resistance at the $43-mark, they tried to push below the $39-mark (immediate support). Consequently, DOT traded at $39.56 at press time. Presently, the near-term technicals agreed with the bearish influence but hinted at its ease.
The RSI displayed revival signs after standing at the 39-mark. Additionally, the AO and MACD hinted at a possible recovery if the buyers could gather momentum.

However, the bears showed resistance at the upper channel. Consequently, the pullback resulted in a 25.8% retracement BCH hit its three-week low on 18 November. The bears quickly ruptured the lower parallel channel and aimed to snap the immediate support at $553.9. Accordingly, the near-term technicals visibly chose the bears. At press time, BCH traded at $559.
