What to expect from Polkadot price?
Traders should expect Polkadot price to make a bullish breakout above the $4.00 mark s the price climbs out of the consolidating channel. DOT should be expected to rise towards the $50.00 mark in the next few days. The positive technical analysis and the rising trade volume also support this suggestion.
Conversely, if the Polkadot price falls back to $42.00, DOT would continue consolidating at the price level as the bulls try to gain momentum once again. In this case, the price can be expected to fall to the $40.00 mark before recovering.
