Polkadot’s DOT Battles Bearish Onslaught—Can Bulls Stage a Comeback?

Polkadot's native token DOT is caught in a tug-of-war between recovery hopes and relentless bearish pressure. Despite flickers of bullish momentum, the asset struggles to shake off market skepticism.

Gravity vs. Growth: The protocol's ambitious interoperability vision hasn't immunized DOT from crypto's brutal sentiment swings. Trading patterns show whales accumulating while retail investors flee—a classic divergence that either signals smart money at work or greater fools theory in action.

Technical Tightrope: Key support levels held... barely. But with BTC dominance sucking oxygen from altcoins, DOT's recovery attempts look more like dead cat bounces than trend reversals. (Then again, in crypto, dead cats sometimes grow rocket boosters.)

The Institutional Angle: Grayscale's latest portfolio rebalance added DOT while Wall Street analysts yawned—another day in the 'store of value' vs. 'useful blockchain' debate that somehow still pays their mortgages.

As the Fed's printer hums quietly in the background, DOT's fate may hinge on whether crypto traders still believe in fundamentals... or just the greater fool's wallet size.
