Polkadot (DOT) has come under the spotlight with crypto analysts laying out bullish narratives for the crypto asset. One of them is crypto expert Michaël van de Poppe, who believes Polkadot could rise to as high as $25 in this bull run. 

Polkadot Could Reach $25 On Next Leg Up

Michaël van de Poppe mentioned in an X (formerly Twitter) post that Polkadot’s next rally will see it climb between $20 and $25. He explained that the crypto token has seen a substantial correction in the past months, but it showed enough strength by coming back to pre-rally levels. The analyst further claimed that Polkadot has bottomed, “especially since JAM Whitepaper came out.”

As such, he believes that Polkadot is more than primed for this rally, which could propel it to such heights. The crypto analyst has been a big believer in Polkadot’s potential. He previously included Polkadot in a list of crypto tokens that he believes are undervalued. He claimed that DOT’s valuation was still at a cycle low, which had opened up a “huge opportunity” to invest in it. 

Van de Poppe is very much invested in Polkadot because of its technology. In a previous X post, he highlighted how the JAM (Join-Accumualte Machine) Paper, which ushered in Polkadot 2.0, would revolutionize DOT’s ecosystem. He also claimed that Polkadot is the “second largest blockchain in terms of developers and growth.” Therefore, he expects DOT’s price to complement the team’s efforts soon enough. 

Meanwhile, Van de Poppe expects Polkadot to reach as high as $20 in the third quarter of this year. For now, he believes that the $8 and $17 range are crucial resistance levels that the crypto token must break out of to enjoy such a parabolic rally. 

A More Bullish Prediction For DOT

Crypto analyst Crypto Thanos offered a more bullish prediction for Polkadot, stating that the crypto token climbing above $50 is “easily achievable” in this bull run. He believes this price is attainable because he expects institutions to get interested in large caps like Polkadot. He also noted Polkadot’s collaboration with Tie, which aims to increase institutional exposure and access. 

It is worth noting that Polkadot’s all-time high (ATH) is currently $55, which makes Thanos’ prediction for the crypto token feasible. Crypto tokens are known to usually surpass their ATH in every bull run. 

Crypto analyst Captain Faibik provided insights into what to expect from Polkadot in the short term. He predicts the crypto token will record a 35% “bullish rally” soon enough. He said a “major trendline breakout/retest has already been confirmed” for DOT on the four-hour timeframe chart. 

At the time of writing, Polkadot is trading at around $7.11, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

According to a Messari report, the Polkadot (DOT) blockchain protocol made significant progress in the first quarter (Q1) of the year in terms of market capitalization, revenue, and Cross-Consensus Message Format (XCM) activity, as well as a record increase in daily active addresses.

DOT’s Market Cap Surges 16% QoQ

During Q4 2023, Polkadot’s market capitalization experienced a notable 111% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) increase, reaching $8.4 billion. Building on this momentum, Q1 2024 witnessed a further 16% QoQ rise, elevating the circulating market cap to $12.7 billion. 

Despite these gains, DOT’s market capitalization remains 80% below its all-time high of $55.5 billion, set on November 8, 2021. 

In Q4 2023, Polkadot’s revenue also skyrocketed by 2,880% QoQ, amounting to $2.8 million. Per the report, this surge was primarily attributed to an exponential increase in extrinsics, driven by the Polkadot Inscriptions. 

However, revenue metrics for Q1 2024 declined significantly on a QoQ basis, with revenue in USD dropping by 91% to $241,000 and revenue in DOT decreasing by 92% to 28,800. It is worth noting that Polkadot’s revenue tends to be relatively lower compared to its competitors due to the network’s structural design.

Polkadot’s XCM activity continued to show growth in Q1 2024. Daily XCM transfers surged by 89% QoQ to reach 2,700, while non-asset transfer use cases, known as “XCM other,” witnessed a 214% QoQ increase, averaging 185 daily transfers. 

The total number of daily XCM messages grew 94% QoQ to 2,800, demonstrating the network’s dynamic ecosystem. In addition, the number of active XCM channels grew 13% QoQ to a total of 230.

Polkadot’s Parachain Network Soars To New Heights

Q1 2024 marked a significant kick-off to the year for Polkadot’s parachains, with active addresses reaching an all-time high of 514,000, representing a substantial 48% QoQ growth. 

Moonbeam emerged as the leading parachain with 217,000 monthly active addresses, a solid 110% QoQ increase. Nodle followed closely with 54,000 monthly active addresses, doubling from the previous quarter. 

Astar on the other hand, experienced a modest 8% QoQ growth to reach 26,000 active addresses, while Bifrost Finance grew slightly by 2% QoQ to 10,000 addresses. However, Acala experienced a decline, with monthly active addresses falling to 13,000, down 16% QoQ.

Notably, the Manta Network stood out among parachains in Q1 2024, with a significant surge in daily active addresses, reaching 15,000. According to Messari, this increase was fueled by the successful launch of the MANTA token TGE and subsequent listing on Binance, propelling Manta’s Total Value Locked (TVL) to over $440 million. 

Polkadot Price Sees Upside Potential Ahead

In terms of price action, Polkadot’s native token DOT has regained bullish momentum following a sharp drop to the $5.8 price mark after reaching a yearly high of $11 on March 14. 

Currently, DOT has regained the $7.25 level, up 7% over the past week. However, DOT’s trading volume decreased slightly by 4.7% compared to the previous trading session, amounting to $320 million over the past 24 hours, according to CoinGecko data.

If the bullish momentum persists, Polkadot faces its first resistance at the $7.4 zone, which serves as the last threshold before a potential retest of the $8 resistance wall. 

On the other hand, the $6.4 support floor has proven to be successful after being tested for two consecutive days this week, highlighting its significance as a key level to watch for the token’s upward movement prospects.

Gavin Wood, the founder of the Polkadot protocol, has unveiled a new Gray Paper outlining the forthcoming Join-Accumulate Machine (JAM) upgrade for the network. This announcement occurred during Wood’s presentation on Polkadot’s future at the Token2049 crypto conference in Dubai. 

Wood introduced the JAM Implementer’s Prize, a 10 Million DOT prize pool, to encourage diverse development of the JAM protocol. 

Polkadot Unveils JAM Upgrade

According to the announcement, the JAM upgrade aims to replace the relay chain, which acts as the central data chain in the Polkadot network, with a “more modular and minimalist design” that will allow Polkadot to run generic services and increase network stability. 

The parachains service within JAM will support existing Substrate-based parachains, enabling developers to continue using Substrate to develop and deploy their blockchains. 

Notably, these services will have no predefined limits on code, data, or state capacity and can accommodate additional DOT deposits for increased capacity.

JAM’s design includes several technical improvements. It replaces WebAssembly with the Polkadot Virtual Machine based on the RISC-V ISA, an open-source instruction set architecture (ISA) used to develop custom processors.

It also introduces SAFROLE, a SNARK-based block production algorithm. These upgrades are reportedly designed to optimize performance and scalability within the Polkadot network.

On The Path To Decentralization?

To realize the vision of “a truly decentralized protocol,” Polkadot aims to support multiple client implementations. Furthermore, the JAM Implementer’s prize has been established to incentivize and fund projects contributing to the development of JAM implementations. The announcement further reads on the matter:

We believe that supporting a range of implementations in various programming languages will strengthen the ecosystem’s foundation. It distributes the power of protocol implementers more widely and reduces the risk of a bug in one implementation taking down the entire network.

The JAM Implementer’s Prize will collaborate with existing and future funding initiatives that support Polkadot’s ecosystem and technology stack. These initiatives include Decentralized Futures, Grants, and Polkadot’s on-chain treasury. 

The prize will be activated when JAM is ratified as a Polkadot technology through the network’s on-chain governance mechanism.

Overall, Gavin Wood’s introduction of the JAM upgrade and the associated 10 Million DOT prize reflects Polkadot’s intention to increase the protocol’s use and adoption. JAM’s modular design and incentives for multi-client implementations are also expected to contribute to ongoing efforts to decentralize the Polkadot network. 

As JAM development continues, the Polkadot ecosystem welcomes proposals from teams interested in implementing it in various programming environments.

Despite the recent announcement, the network’s native token, DOT, has been unable to break the downtrend witnessed over the past month. Currently trading at $6.75, it reflects a significant 24% decline in price over the last 30 days.

Polkadot, the computing platform known for its interoperability and scalability, has shown remarkable growth in key metrics during the latter part of 2023, as outlined in a recent report by Messari. 

Outpacing Crypto Market Growth

According to Messari’s findings, Polkadot’s circulating market cap experienced a remarkable 111% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) growth, reaching an impressive $8.38 billion. 

This growth outpaced the overall crypto market’s growth of 54% during the same period. Furthermore, Polkadot’s year-on-year (YoY) change reached 94%, solidifying its position among the top 15 crypto projects by market capitalization.

In terms of revenue, Polkadot witnessed a substantial surge of 2,880% QoQ, generating $2.8 million in Q4 2023. This surge was primarily attributed to the significant rise in extrinsic, driven by the introduction of Polkadot Inscriptions. 

Messari suggests that even excluding the four-day spike from the Inscriptions, Polkadot’s revenue would have doubled from the previous quarter. It is worth noting that Polkadot’s revenue tends to be relatively lower compared to its competitors due to the structural design of its network.

Polkadot Witnesses Significant Increase In Active Addresses

Following the launch of OpenGov – the governance module and framework within the network – in June, the Polkadot Relay Chain experienced a surge in account activity, largely due to increased governance participation. 

Because the Relay Chain is critical in facilitating governance processes, it experienced a spike in active addresses on October 24, when users claimed their locked DOT tokens from the first batch of parachain auctions held two years earlier.

Throughout Q4, the Polkadot Relay Chain averaged over 10,000 daily active addresses, representing a substantial 90% QoQ increase. Excluding the October 24th activity related to DOT token claiming, the average number of active addresses still saw a significant 70% rise in QoQ, reaching 9,000. 

Additionally, Cross-Chain Message (XCM) transfers on the platform increased by 150% QoQ, reaching an all-time high of 133,000. The total number of active XCM channels nearly tripled in 2023, reaching 203 by the end of the year.

According to Electric Capital’s rankings, Polkadot has 800 full-time and 2,100 total developers, making it one of the largest crypto ecosystems in developer participation.

DOT Price Shows Mixed Performance

Despite notable growth in key metrics demonstrating the network’s expansion, the price of Polkadot’s native token, DOT, has not followed suit and has even experienced declines over longer time frames despite positive developments.

Currently, DOT is trading at $6.7420, representing a slight 0.3% price increase in the past twenty-four hours, coupled with a 9% year-to-date gain.

However, over the past fourteen and thirty days, the token has recorded a 6% and 22% price drop, highlighting the absence of bullish momentum and catalysts that could propel DOT to higher levels.

Although it reached a 19-month high of $9.5711 on December 26, the subsequent price drop has led DOT to a critical juncture, potentially erasing its gains over the past year.

If the current level and its nearest support at $6.3229 fail to halt further price declines, DOT could potentially drop to the $5.4830 level, which serves as the next major support in the token’s 1-day chart.

Conversely, if DOT surpasses its upper resistance at $7.0392, the next objective would be to break the short-term downtrend structure, facing the $7.5332 resistance and another resistance at $8.1631. This would pave the way for another consolidation phase at its 19-month high.

The Polkadot (DOT) token has witnessed significant downward pressure over the past few weeks. This negative performance was further exacerbated by the recent downturn of Bitcoin’s value, which tumbled below $40,000 over the past week.

However, the altcoin appears to be garnering momentum in the past few days, having rebounded positively from the $6 mark. A popular analyst on the X platform has put forward an exciting projection for DOT, saying the token looks set for a substantial upward move in the coming weeks.

Can Polkadot Reach $17 In This Cycle?

In a recent post on X, prominent crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe noted that the altcoins market is on the verge of a significant surge. Specifically, the crypto pundit singled out the Polkadot token as one of the assets to look out for.

According to Poppe’s post on X, DOT is approaching a significant support level in three days. The analyst identified the support zone between $5.60 and $6 while highlighting the need for this level to hold strong.

If the support level holds, Michael van de Poppe believes that Polkadot’s price is primed for a substantial run to the upside in the current cycle. And the crypto analyst put forward an ultimate $17 target for the cryptocurrency if a breakout does occur.

This potential price action would represent a massive 150% upswing from the current price point. Nevertheless, this would still be a long way from the token’s all-time high of $54.98

It is worth noting that Michael van de Poppe has also identified a price zone that will be integral to DOT’s possible run to $17. According to his analysis, there is significant resistance for the altcoin to overcome at around the $9.39 level.

DOT last hit this price point on Boxing Day. Resistance caused the coin’s value to collapse; since December 26, 2023, it has dropped by almost 30%.

DOT Price Overview?

As earlier inferred, Polkadot’s price has performed poorly since the turn of the year. According to data provided by CoinGecko, the cryptocurrency’s value has dipped by almost 24% in the past month.

As of this writing, the DOT price is $6.69, reflecting a 3.8% increase in the last 24 hours. However, the coin is still red on the weekly timeframe, with a 2.3% price slump over the past seven days.

Nonetheless, Polkadot ranks as the 13th-largest cryptocurrency, with a market capitalization of roughly $8.85 billion.

Polkadot (DOT), one of the prominent blockchain networks in the crypto space, experienced a 16% decline in market capitalization in the third quarter (Q3) of 2023, according to a recent report from Messari. 

This decline came after a moderate downturn in the overall cryptocurrency market during Q3, despite favorable court rulings for XRP and Grayscale. The total crypto market capitalization declined by 5.8%, with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) falling by 7.5% and 10.0%, respectively.

Polkadot Closes Q3 With $5.2 Billion Market Cap

As reported by Messari, Polkadot’s market capitalization closed at $5.2 billion, positioning it as the 13th largest crypto asset by market cap in Q3 2023 (currently 15th). 

Polkadot’s financial structure is based on a weight-based fee model, which differs from the gas-metering model in other networks, such as Ethereum.

Transaction fees in Polkadot are determined and charged before execution, with the calculation comprising a weight fee reflecting computational resources, a length fee based on transaction size, and an optional tip to incentivize block authors. 

In Q3 2023, Polkadot generated revenue amounting to $94,000, representing a 3% decrease compared to the previous quarter. Messari suggests that Polkadot’s revenue tends to be relatively lower compared to its competitors due to the network’s structural design.

On the other hand, the native token of Polkadot, DOT, serves three primary purposes: governance, staking, and parachain bonding. During Q3 2023, the staking percentage of DOT rose by 12% compared to the previous quarter, reaching 49%. 

This increase led to reduced staking rewards and a 12% decline in the annualized nominal yield to 15%. According to Messari, the close alignment of Polkadot’s staking rate with the ideal rate demonstrates the effectiveness of its mechanism.

Polkadot’s OpenGov Milestone

The Polkadot treasury supported various initiatives in Q3, including software development, bounties, client upgrades, and community events like meetups and hackerspaces. 

According to Messari, the implementation of OpenGov on June 15 marked a significant milestone, revolutionizing treasury management and enabling concurrent proposals with distinct requirements. At the end of the quarter, the Polkadot treasury held approximately 45 million DOT ($185 million).

Furthermore, Polkadot has recently completed the official release of Polkadot 1.0, marking the achievement of a significant milestone outlined in the Polkadot whitepaper. 

The network’s codebase has been fully transitioned to a repository managed by the community through Polkadot OpenGov and the Technical Fellowship. The roadmap for the next iteration, Polkadot 2.0, will be determined through community discussions and consensus. 

Founder Gavin Wood has proposed ideas for additional mechanisms to allocate Polkadot’s block space and for creating treaty-like agreements between multiple blockchains called “accords.”

As of this writing, the DOT token has exhibited a noteworthy upward trend since October 19, closely following Bitcoin’s lead. Presently, the token is trading at $4,839, reflecting a notable increase of over 16% within the past fourteen days.

The post Polkadot (DOT) Market Cap Dips: Q3 Sees 16% Decrease In Value appeared first on CryptoSens.

Polkadot (DOT) has been grappling with a descending resistance trendline, experiencing a relentless decline since February. In the month of October, the digital asset suffered a 10% drop, plummeting from $4.3 to $3.6. 

Market analysts are warning of the potential for further losses should the prevailing bearish pressure persist. However, a slight glimmer of hope emerged as DOT attempted a reversal at $3.6, hinting at the possibility of overcoming the overhead resistance barrier.

At present, the DOT price according to CoinGecko stands at $3.74, depicting a marginal 0.3% decline over the last 24 hours and a 2.8% dip over the span of seven days. 

DOT’s Struggle For Recovery

The absence of horizontal support below the current price underscores the significance of Fib retracement levels in forecasting potential bottoming areas. Notably, a Fibonacci retracement tool was utilized, encompassing the lower high of $4.8 on August 29 and the recent dip of $3.6 on October 12. This analysis highlighted that the path to recovery for DOT faces significant obstacles at the 23.6% Fib ($3.9) and the 38.2% Fib ($4).

Complicating matters further, the $4 level, serving as the second resistance target, coincides with a daily bearish order block (OB). This confluence suggests that crossing the $3.9 threshold could prove challenging for bullish momentum.

Polkadot Developers Stand Strong

Despite the persistent price downturn, the developers within the Polkadot ecosystem remain resolute and undeterred. This unwavering commitment is evident from the substantial Polkadot active developers, which are currently hovering close to an all-time high. This figure notably exceeds the levels recorded in 2021 when the altcoin’s price reached its peak.

In a recent announcement, Parity Technologies, a significant player in blockchain infrastructure, revealed its strategic shift towards decentralization within the Polkadot (DOT) ecosystem. The forthcoming organizational changes are anticipated to mark a new chapter for the company in the months to come.

Polkadot’s Cutting-Edge Technology Advancement

Amidst circulating rumors, Parity Technologies promptly dispelled speculations about a massive layoff of approximately 300 employees during a recent off-site gathering in Mallorca. The company emphasized that any adjustments to the workforce will be gradual and in alignment with its progressive decentralized strategy.

Emphasizing their dedication, Parity underscored their commitment to driving the advancement of Polkadot’s cutting-edge technology. Their key focus remains on enhancing the developer experience and fostering a resilient developer community within the Polkadot ecosystem, ensuring its sustained growth and innovation.

Polkadot (DOT) is making strategic moves to propel its development forward as bearish market conditions continue to cast a shadow over the crypto landscape. In recent weeks, the network has shifted its focus away from speculation, opting instead to double down on its commitment to technological advancement. 

This move was evident in the multiple presentations it delivered, shedding light on its ongoing efforts and its ambitious goal of achieving 1,000 parachains.

A Paradigm Shift In Polkadot’s Strategy

In a landscape where various blockchain networks are fiercely vying for cross-chain dominance, Polkadot is emerging as a formidable contender. The Sub0 developer conference served as a platform for the network, reaffirming Polkadot’s commitment to cross-chain integration and the immense potential it holds.

The implications of this move are profound. Polkadot envisions a future where parachains, interconnected through its innovative architecture, foster a thriving ecosystem of decentralized applications, each with its unique use cases and communities. This holistic approach to blockchain interoperability opens up vast opportunities for developers and users alike, promising seamless interactions between disparate blockchain ecosystems.

Navigating Choppy Waters: DOT’s Price And Sentiment

DOT price has been navigating choppy waters since February. As of the latest data, DOT is trading at $4.01, according to CoinGecko, with a 24-hour movement of 0.1% and a seven-day decrease of 4.3%. This downtrend has led many to wonder if DOT can regain its bullish momentum in a bearish market.

On-chain data cited in a report suggests a glimmer of hope, indicating a slight improvement in DOT’s weighted sentiment over the last three weeks. This uptick in confidence among traders suggests that some believe in DOT’s potential for an eventual upswing, though it has yet to manifest in price action. 

Looking Ahead: DOT’s Prospects In A Bearish Altcoin Market

As cryptocurrency analyst Benjamin Cowen suggests, altcoins, including DOT, may face challenges throughout the remainder of 2023, a pattern often observed in pre-halving years. Nevertheless, Polkadot’s recently unveiled plans and its unwavering commitment to technological innovation position it favorably for the long run.

The network’s vision of a cross-chain future, with an expanding parachain ecosystem, could serve as a catalyst for renewed investor interest and a potential bullish reversal.

Polkadot (DOT) has managed to capture the attention of traders and investors alike. Despite a persistently bearish market structure, recent indicators point towards a potential bullish recovery on the horizon. 

As of the latest data from CoinGecko, DOT is currently trading at $5.02, with a 0.7% gain in the past 24 hours and a 1.5% increase over the past seven days.

With the broader market experiencing an upward price trajectory, DOT buyers are poised to reap potential benefits. Analyzing the market dynamics, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has unveiled a recovering buying pressure. 

Signs Of Revival Emerge Amidst Market Uncertainty

A recent price analysis points out that the RSI has edged closer to the neutral 50 level, marking a significant shift from its recent spell within the oversold zone. This shift suggests an increasing appetite for DOT tokens among traders, potentially setting the stage for a bullish resurgence.

Further fueling the optimism, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator has displayed an uptick in buyer confidence. The CMF, a measure of the volume and flow of capital into or out of a cryptocurrency, has made a decisive move from the zero mark, currently standing at +0.20. This reading highlights the influx of capital into DOT, indicating a growing sense of positivity and enthusiasm among buyers.

Polkadot Bulls Eye Key Price Levels, Bears Await

In the coming days, bulls within the DOT market are gearing up to challenge the bears for ownership of the crucial $5.23 price level. A successful flip of this level into a support zone could potentially pave the way for further gains. 

Market analysts speculate that should this support level be reclaimed, DOT could make strides towards $5.50 and potentially reach $6. However, a rejection at these levels could send DOT on a downward trajectory, with a potential dip towards the $4.5 range.

The outcome of DOT’s price movements is also tied to the performance of the broader cryptocurrency market, particularly Bitcoin (BTC). Should BTC fail to sustain its ongoing price rally, DOT’s trajectory could be influenced.

While the cryptocurrency market remains inherently volatile and unpredictable, the recent indicators surrounding Polkadot signal the possibility of a bullish recovery. The resurgence in buying pressure, coupled with the growing confidence of buyers as depicted by the CMF indicator, sets an optimistic tone for the future. 

As the battle between bulls and bears ensues, traders and investors alike will keenly watch the pivotal price levels, with the hope of witnessing a substantial market turnaround.

The post Polkadot Bearish Trends Set The Stage For Bullish Possibilities – Here’s Why appeared first on CryptoSens.

Polkadot (DOT) price shows that the coin has finally latched on to its support zone.

•         Polkadot price analysis looks extremely bearish
•         DOT/USD resistance at $7.79
•         DOT/USD support at $7.05

The bulls did a clap back and were able to rebound as DOT dodged further downtrend that falls below $7.22 and instead went for a range upwards or shooting towards $7.42.

ADA showed some recovery but provided the necessary support for the coin’s price. With the prevailing intense selling pressure in the market, a downtrend was apparent for ADA that has been lingering for more than a week now.

According to CoinMarketCap, the DOT price has swerved down again as it dropped by 3.65% or is trading at $7.14. Evidently, the coin has corrected and had dipped lower at it was priced at $7.34 a few hours ago.

Polkadot Bears Smacked the Bulls

From a 24-hour perspective, Polkadot’s price reveals the presence of intense selling pressure that has resurfaced due to the reduction in coin price.

The bears were also able to smack the bulls that were acing it yesterday as increased selling pressure has been noted today.

With the bears pummeling the price downward, DOT price slumped to $7.34 which sets the next support at $7.05.

The coin is said to have gained 1.15% profit overnight due to the coin’s bullish streak yesterday. On the other hand, DOT lost around 19.76% in the past few days due to intense selling activity.
