Polkadot (DOT) has enjoyed a successful three-week period, with bullish investors maintaining their position at the forefront despite fluctuations in the market. <\/span><\/p>\n In addition, the recent legal victory of Ripple against the US Securities and Exchange Commission triggered a positive response across the entire market, benefiting not only significant cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) but also altcoins in general.<\/span><\/p>\n Nevertheless, it is essential to note that Bitcoin and Ether experienced notable downward corrections in the short term after they attempted to surge higher last week. As a result, there might be some selling pressure soon for these leading cryptocurrencies, which could potentially harm the price of DOT.<\/span><\/p>\n Given this scenario, how can DOT bulls regain control and overcome a potential market correction?<\/span><\/p>\n The latest update on\u00a0<\/span>DOT’s price from CoinGecko<\/span><\/a> shows that it currently stands at $5.30. While the cryptocurrency experienced a slight decline of 1.7% over the past 24 hours, it still managed to maintain a seven-day rally of 4.8%. However, a closer analysis of the DOT price report shows some concerning indicators.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to a report<\/span><\/a>, by mid-June, the Open Interest had significantly diminished compared to its April levels, signaling a bearish sentiment. However, as the month advanced, a reversal in this trend emerged.<\/span><\/p>\n Related Reading: Shiba Inu Encounters Familiar Resistance, Prompting Concerns About Bull Run<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The declining Open Interest in April, which refers to the number of open contracts in the market, served as an early indicator that hinted at the forthcoming bearish sentiment.<\/p>\n As traders and investors reduced their positions and interest waned, it reflected a growing caution and skepticism in the market. This downward trend in Open Interest implied a decrease in market participation and a potential lack of confidence in the prevailing bullish trends.<\/p>\n Related Reading: USTC Surprises With Nearly 60% Rally \u2013 What\u2019s Going On?<\/a><\/p>\n However, as June unfolded, a gradual and encouraging shift in market sentiment began to take shape. Market participants started to exhibit a more optimistic outlook, which was reflected in the increasing Open Interest. This surge in OI suggested renewed interest and activity, as traders and investors re-entered the market and established new positions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On the other hand, if\u00a0<\/span>BTC can stabilize<\/span><\/a> or even climb back above $31,000, DOT will likely follow suit. The correlation between BTC and altcoins like DOT has been a well-established trend in the cryptocurrency market.<\/span><\/p>\nDOT Price Update: Minor Dip, But Open Interest Improves<\/strong><\/h2>\n
