Over the last three months, DOT’s metrics also showed some interesting movements. For example, its development activity has recently decreased.

Furthermore, after a sharp decrease in November, DOT’s Binance funding rate went up consistently, which proved its demand in the derivatives market. The crypto community also talked about DOT with utmost excitement as evidenced by its social dominance increase.

This can be expected

A few of the market indicators were also supportive of a price hike this year. The relative strength index was hovering near the oversold zone. DOT’s Money Flow Index also registered an uptick, which looked promising for the network.

Nonetheless, the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Ribbon was bearish as the 20-day EMA was resting below the 55-day EMA. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) also went down, which might be troublesome.
