With Polkadot (DOT) Continue Decline?
Polkadot (DOT) is currently trading around the $4.20 price level, with sellers looking to drive the price lower. Market watchers are hopeful of a recovery from this level, but should DOT continue to decline, it could fall back to $4, a level that is expected to attract buyers once again. Polkadot’s network activities and partnerships are expected to spark a recovery, prompting many analysts to predict a recovery sooner rather than later.
