Polkadot Rally Incoming? Crypto Analyst Predicts 150% Price Surge For DOT – Crypto News
The Polkadot (DOT) token has witnessed significant downward pressure over the past few weeks. This negative performance was further exacerbated by the recent downturn of Bitcoin’s value, which tumbled below $40,000 over the past week.
However, the altcoin appears to be garnering momentum in the past few days, having rebounded positively from the $6 mark. A popular analyst on the X platform has put forward an exciting projection for DOT, saying the token looks set for a substantial upward move in the coming weeks.
Can Polkadot Reach $17 In This Cycle?
In a recent post on X, prominent crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe noted that the altcoins market is on the verge of a significant surge. Specifically, the crypto pundit singled out the Polkadot token as one of the assets to look out for.
According to Poppe’s post on X, DOT is approaching a significant support level in three days. The analyst identified the support zone between $5.60 and $6 while highlighting the need for this level to hold strong.

If the support level holds, Michael van de Poppe believes that Polkadot’s price is primed for a substantial run to the upside in the current cycle. And the crypto analyst put forward an ultimate $17 target for the cryptocurrency if a breakout does occur.
This potential price action would represent a massive 150% upswing from the current price point. Nevertheless, this would still be a long way from the token’s all-time high of $54.98
It is worth noting that Michael van de Poppe has also identified a price zone that will be integral to DOT’s possible run to $17. According to his analysis, there is significant resistance for the altcoin to overcome at around the $9.39 level.
DOT last hit this price point on Boxing Day. Resistance caused the coin’s value to collapse; since December 26, 2023, it has dropped by almost 30%.
DOT Price Overview?
As earlier inferred, Polkadot’s price has performed poorly since the turn of the year. According to data provided by CoinGecko, the cryptocurrency’s value has dipped by almost 24% in the past month.
As of this writing, the DOT price is $6.69, reflecting a 3.8% increase in the last 24 hours. However, the coin is still red on the weekly timeframe, with a 2.3% price slump over the past seven days.
Nonetheless, Polkadot ranks as the 13th-largest cryptocurrency, with a market capitalization of roughly $8.85 billion.
