Information about Polkadot (DOT)
Polkadot is an open-source fragmentation multi-chain protocol that supports the cross-chain transfer of any data or asset, not just tokens. That way, a bunch of blockchains can interact with each other. This interaction mechanism seeks to establish a wholly decentralized and private user-controlled web and simplifies the creation of new applications, organizations, and services. The Polkadot protocol connects public and private chains, permissionless networks, oracles, and future technologies, allowing these independent blockchains to share information and transactions in a trustless manner through the Polkadot transition sequence (explained further below).
DOT is the native token of Polkadot that is intended to perform the main functions of the platform. DOT serves three explicit purposes: to provide network operations and governance; to create parachains by linking.
News
Polkadot is currently priced at 3.47 USD and has seen a 3.10% drop in the last 24 hours. The price shows a possible recovery if it maintains support around 3.35 USD, while breaking the 4.60 USD resistance is key for a bullish reversal.
Recent data indicates a significant liquidation imbalance, suggesting bearish sentiment among traders. However, with an increase in Open Interest to 305.42 million USD, there is potential for future volatility and a possible upward trend.
If Polkadot can surpass the $4.62 resistance, it may trigger a rally toward $5.25. However, despite marginal improvements, bearish influence persists, and many investors may seek to cut losses.
The current market signals indicate significant challenges ahead as Polkadot attempts to recover from previous losses since November. Breaching higher resistance levels may prove difficult for bulls.
