Polkadot ($DOT) Price Analysis: Bearish Sentiment Returns

by

As a crypto investor who has been following Polkadot ($DOT) closely, I’m disappointed to see its price drop below $7 again after a promising start to the week. I had hoped that the previous week’s gains would hold, but alas, bearish sentiment returned on Friday and forced the price down.

Following a strong beginning to the week, Polkadot‘s ($DOT) price has since slipped and is currently trading under $7 once more.

As a researcher studying the cryptocurrency market, I have observed that after experiencing a gain and maintaining a price above $7 throughout the previous week, $DOT unfortunately lost its upward momentum by the end of the week on May 10, and is now trading in the red.

Bearish Sentiment Returns: $DOT Over the Week

On Friday, Polkadot’s price experienced a significant decline after dropping below the vital support of $7. Prior to this, Polkadot had been fairly stable since May 2, registering a growth of 5.51% and surpassing $7 as well as the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). Polkadot struggled to maintain its position above $7 on May 3 and May 4 but managed to do so. However, it began to slide on May 5, dropping by 2.46% to reach a price of $7.13. The downward trend continued for Polkadot on May 7 and 8, leading to a drop in its price to $6.98. Polkadot bounced back slightly on Thursday, May 9, recording a growth of 1% and reaching $7.05.

On Friday, May 10, there was a resurgence of pessimistic outlook towards $DOT, resulting in a 4.40% drop to $6.74. The cryptocurrency continued to trade bearishly on Saturday, May 11, at around $6.72. As I write this, $DOT is hovering slightly above that price at $6.74.

 

Polkadot Price Uncertainty

Currently, the selling pressure has pushed the DOT price below its previously established support of $7. However, even though it’s trading beneath this level, there is a robust support zone for DOT at around $6.40. If the sellers continue to push downwards, DOT might reach this support. A possible rebound and reclaiming of the $7 price could occur if sellers are unsuccessful in their efforts.

Crucial Polkadot Developments

As a researcher studying the cryptocurrency market, I’m observing the dynamic interplay between buyers and sellers in the case of $DOT. However, it’s essential not to lose sight of the fact that Polkadot made a significant stride forward this week. Specifically, they completed an important upgrade by implementing Asynchronous Backing into their network. This enhancement is expected to bring about noticeable improvements and add to the overall strength and functionality of Polkadot.

As a researcher exploring the advancements in the Polkadot network, I can share that the implementation of Asynchronous Backing has significantly enhanced our flexibility in managing blockspace allocation and boosted overall performance. In tandem with Elastic Scaling and Agile Coretime, we’re making great strides towards realizing the Polkadot 2.0 vision.

As a crypto investor, I can tell you that using an asynchronous backing system significantly improves both the agility and productivity of the network. It enables us to process a larger volume of transactions in a shorter time frame, ultimately boosting the network’s capacity and making it more reactive to user demands.

Polkadot unveiled another major advancement through the publication of the Join-Accumulate Machine (JAM) Grey Paper.
