With <\/span>Bitcoin<\/span><\/a> surging past $20,000, altcoins like DOT (Polkadot) have been riding the broader crypto rally which started since the beginning of 2023. According to <\/span>CoinGecko<\/span><\/a>, the token is trading at $5.94, and has risen by more than 12% in the past 24 hours and 33% in the weekly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This was caused by market optimism caused by positive Consumer Price Index (CPI) data that was <\/span>released<\/span> Thursday. With the main components of the CPI going deflationary, the market may continue the sharp rally that it started the year with.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Polkadot, as an ecosystem, has been on a roll lately. According to <\/span>Santiment<\/span><\/a>, Polkadot has been seeing a strong development activity in recent days, adding on to the already bullish momentum of the overall crypto market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Polkadot also reached over 1 million DOT in nomination pools, making staking on-chain more viable. Crypto.com also released a <\/span>recent<\/span> post regarding the current market. Polygon ranked 4th place in TVL with a 5% change in the past seven days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This can be associated with the recent developments on-chain and the recent crypto market rally. Accompanying these are the improving macroeconomic trends. With the CPI dropping to <\/span>6.5%<\/span><\/a>, DOT can continue its momentous climb in the next few weeks or months if the momentum continues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Although some <\/span>analysts<\/span><\/a> are pessimistic that this rally is for the long term, the <\/span>overall on-chain<\/span><\/a> performance of the ecosystem will be supporting the token and breaking further resistance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With the token\u2019s current momentum, it is possible that DOT will continue to make higher highs. DOT may be in a position to continue its climb. The token\u2019s high correlation with major cryptocurrencies will also pull the token upwards.<\/span><\/p>\n With Bitcoin testing the $21,422 resistance, the coin\u2019s upward momentum will be a wave for DOT to ride in the next few weeks or months. This means that the token would benefit with improving macroeconomic trends.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Short and medium term, DOT can cross the current $6 resistance price range to reassure investors and traders that the rally will continue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nDOTs Connected<\/strong><\/h2>\n
