• Polkadot (DOT) is experiencing a 5.75% daily decline, now trading at $4.15.
• Despite short-term dips, analysts suggest a long-term bullish trajectory toward $25 and possibly $50.
• Price predictions for 2025 remain mixed, ranging from $3.68 to a potential return near its all-time high of $55.00.

Polkadot (DOT) is currently trading at $4.15, a 5.75% drop from the last 24 hours. Trading volume has also fallen by 8.38%, now at $507.78 million. The performance continues a week-long string of minor loss, with the token falling 0.28% in the last week.

The downturn comes as part of a broader cooling across crypto markets, as investors recalibrate expectations amid changing macroeconomic signals. However, despite the dip, DOT continues to attract attention from technical analysts and long-term holders due to its robust ecosystem and cross-chain capabilities.

Strong Momentum in Polkadot’s Price

Crypto Analyst Crypto Patel is bullish on the outlook for Polkadot. Writing in the latest analysis he penned, Patel said DOT has already risen 35% from lows earlier and “still looks strong.”Patel went on to say he’s eyeing a move towards $25 next and wouldn’t rule out a long-term reversal back into the $50 range.

That attitude comes on the back of increasing confidence in the development speed for the Polkadot network and where it stands within the Web3 infrastructure landscape.

In spite of the current tame price action, the price in the past has demonstrated vigorous comebacks in earlier cycles. Patel’s estimate, though optimistic, is aligned with the potential for rising adoption and improvement in interoperability in the blockchain space.
