Polkadot RCI and short-term trend

Polkadot all-time high and recovery

Polkadot in the four-year cycle
Polkadot set its all-time high on 4 Nov 2021, in the cycle that peaked in 2021, and has not beaten it in the current cycle that began with the Bitcoin halving of 20 Apr 2024. That record is now 5.0 years old. Only 55 of 112 tracked coins have set a new all-time high since that halving.
Polkadot volatility and trading volume
A typical day moves DOT about ±3.8%, wilder than the median coin's ±3.3%, so a one-day swing beyond ±7.7% would be unusual for it. Polkadot traded $104.0M in the last 24 hours, 6.1% of its $1.70B market cap.
