Price Trends Show Potential for Another DOT Rally
Based on recent technical analysis from CryptoBusyX, Polkadot (DOT) may experience a price rebound. Historical data from 2024 and 2025 show two major upward moves of 250% each.
The first rally moved from approximately $3.5 to $12.7, gaining 254.7%. The second increased from about $3.6 to $8.8, a 243.6% rise.
At the time of writing, DOT is trading near a key support level of $4.56, close to prior bounce points. Analysts suggest that if this level holds, it may trigger a third significant upward move.
