Polkadot (DOT) has had a rough time recently after its price significantly deteriorated. The wider cryptocurrency market is going through a massive sell-off led by Bitcoin (BTC). Bearish altcoin sentiments have been borne out by the substantial decline suffered by BTC. For one week now, this token’s price has fallen almost 11%, indicating bearish trends.
However, it remains bullish on its support levels and is ready to make an upward move instead of a downward trend. Bitcoin is holding strong at its $67k support level and showing signs of a potential reversal. This turnaround in BTC could positively influence DOT’s price performance, setting the stage for an upward climb.
Additionally, sentiment analysis highlights that Bitcoin ETF volume has surged to its highest level since May 15th, based on data from the top seven largest ETFs. Historically, such volume spikes increase the likelihood of a price turnaround, suggesting that the latest spike might be a reaction to buying the dip.
At the time of writing, the token’s price stands at $6.42, with a 24-hour trading volume of $519.75 million and a market cap of $6.34 billion. The token price has increased by 0.92% in the last 24 hours, indicating a potential recovery on the horizon.
DOT Predicted to Surge
Renowned crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe recently shared his insights on the price movements of DOT. Van de Poppe emphasized that the token is positioning itself as a market leader in the adoption of Real-World Assets (RWA) through various projects within its ecosystem.
“Polkadot is currently seeking higher timeframe support, which we are approaching at the $5.50-6.00 range. This area is ideal for continued accumulation of the token,” Van de Poppe stated. He highlighted the significance of this support level for the token’s future performance.
Echoing this sentiment, another analyst, Crypto Yapper, stressed the importance of maintaining this support level. “DOT is back at a very critical level and we need to bounce from here; otherwise, we will see much lower prices soon,” Crypto Yapper warned. He also noted that Polkadot is “still undervalued big time,” expressing his intention to buy at the current level.
Moreover, in a recent Polkadot price prediction, Changelly expects the value to increase by 14.9% up to $7.17 by June 13th, 2024. In view of technical indicators from Changelly, the fear and greed index is at 74 which shows that there are more greedy investors than fearful ones, while it indicates 27% bullish sentiment for DOT in the market.
