  • Renowned analyst Michaël van de Poppe predicts a bullish rally for Polkadot (DOT), citing technical indicators such as an inverted head and shoulders pattern.
  • Van de Poppe anticipates DOT’s price to hit $17 in the short term, supported by broader market sentiment and institutional interest.

With Bitcoin (BTC) surging above $60,000 for the first time in over two years, the altcoin market is following suit with a bullish trend gradually gaining momentum. Moreover, with institutional investors warming up, the adoption of blockchain technology is only likely to grow from here.

With numerous blockchains, including layer-ones and layer-twos, in existence, the demand for secure interconnection has surged significantly. Consequently, layer zero blockchains have emerged to facilitate secure communication at scale between different blockchains. Notably, the Polkadot (DOT) ecosystem has excelled in this domain over the past few years, as per the report from Crypto News Flash.

The Polkadot network has burgeoned into a billion-dollar ecosystem, showing potential for further growth in this bullish cycle. According to on-chain data from subscan, the Polkadot network boasts 3.1 million accounts held by approximately 1.2 million holders.

Currently, more than 53% of DOT tokens are staked and bonded, resulting in a reduced circulating supply. Several prominent blockchains and web3 projects are utilizing Polkadot’s parachains, including Acala, Astar, HydraDX, Interlay, Litentry, Moonbeam, and Pendulum, among others.

Bullish Forecast for Polkadot (DOT) Price

Renowned crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe has projected a significant bullish rally for the price of DOT (Polkadot) in the forthcoming months. Van de Poppe contends that DOT has already established a higher low and is likely to form a higher high on the weekly time frames, signaling a promising uptrend. Consequently, he expresses confidence that DOT’s price will ascend to $17 as the initial target in the short term.

The higher low was established for $DOT.

The whole ecosystem is thriving after Polkadot 2.0, through which the trend is reversed towards an upwards trend.

The bullish sentiment surrounding DOT is further reinforced by notable technical indicators. The weekly chart indicates the formation of an inverted head and shoulders (H&S) pattern, coupled with a rising divergence on the Relative Strength Index (RSI). According to van de Poppe, once the weekly RSI surpasses the 70 level, DOT’s price will be ready for a parabolic rally toward its all-time high (ATH) and potentially beyond.

This optimistic outlook for DOT comes amidst a broader bullish sentiment across the cryptocurrency market, with investors closely monitoring potential breakout runs in various digital assets. Also as per the Crypto News Flash report, Polkadot recently implemented RFC-10 to undertake the deflationary path and boost the DOT price.

In response to the escalating institutional interest in Polkadot, cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase unveiled the launch of perpetual futures contracts for DOT on its international trading platform earlier this week, as reported by Crypto News Flash.

Alongside Polkadot, Coinbase has included contracts for ICP and NEAR, expanding its offerings to cater to the growing demand from investors. Moreover, Coinbase disclosed that various order types, including limit, market, stop, and stop limit orders, are now accessible for all three futures contracts. These additions have also been integrated into Coinbase Advanced, enhancing trading capabilities for users across the platform.
