Polkadot [DOT] Slumps Even As Bitcoin Glides Past $40K

January 8, 2021 by Sahana Kiran

The cryptocurrency industry went from being touted as a medium of illegal activities to a $1 trillion industry. Polkadot [DOT] and Chainlink [LINK], despite being new to the industry were of great help in aiding the $1 trillion journey of the crypto-verse.

While Bitcoin prolonged its journey over the mountains, its market cap didn’t fall behind, at press time, Bitcoin’s market cap was about $724 billion. Bad days were over for XRP as the altcoin had surged by over 43% throughout the week. The asset’s market cap was also back in form as it surpassed Litecoin to regain its position as the fourth-largest cryptocurrency.

At the time of writing, Polkadot [DOT] was trading for $9.58 with a 5.95% fall in the last 24-hours. Despite this downfall, the altcoin managed to retain its position as the seventh-largest coin with a market cap of $8.4 billion. Over the week, the coin had surged by 6.73%.

Most of the assets in the crypto industry were seen dipping while Bitcoin continued to surge. Polkadot [DOT] seemed to be in sync with the other coins as it appeared to be drowning in the red sea. However, the one-hour price chart of the altcoin affirmed that DOT could potentially be gearing up for a change in trend.

The Chaikin Money Flow  [CMF] indicator had fallen down below zero, however, it regained its stance and was seen climbing back over zero to the bullish area. The MACD indicator was exhibiting the same trend as it formed a bullish crossover.
