Polkadot (DOT) is currently trading at $3.92 after recording a daily increment of 2.46% despite an acute reduction of trade volume. The volume of the last 24 hours dropped by 30.09% to $275.98 million as the weekly performance remains sluggish with a reduction of 10.79%.

The cryptocurrencies that have blockchain interoperability capabilities continue to feel stress from the market downturn. Technical cues, however, suggest potential strength if momentum is maintained.
According to crypto analyst Bit Amberly, DOT’s price is consolidating near a broken downward wedge formation on the two-day chart. Historically, such formations often indicate potential for the reversal of a trend if validated by sufficient momentum trading.
Amberly notes that a successful retest of such a pattern could set the stage for a bull wave at the midterm. If momentum gains strength, Polkadot may surge towards $4.54, then at $5.40, $6.50, and subsequently at $7.60. Such levels will constitute a considerable reversal from the current consolidation zone.
However, the analyst explained that such belief in forecasts will be based on higher buying demand as well as renewed market participation. Without such catalysts, DOT could remain stuck in a narrow trade band.

According to DigitalCoinPrice prediction that DOT could break past $8.61 by year’s end, with longer-term potential of testing its previously higher lifetime high around $55.00, market analysts who hold such views argue that if broader use picks up even more strength, Polkadot could sustain prices at around $8.09–$8.61.
Conversely, Changelly’s prediction of 2025 provides a completely different picture. Their prediction shows a minimum and maximum of nearly $4.01 of trading, while the mean will stay around $4.00. From their prediction, the ROI will be expected at -3.4%. Further, their September 2025 prediction sees DOT at an average of $3.83, such that their probable ROI will be at around -7.7%.
