Polkadot has been holding strong this week, which aligns with the overall market uptick.
The market consolidated this week, with Bitcoin and the altcoin market all gaining value. Polkadot ($DOT) remained in line with market gains, surging past $7 and its critical $7.50 price point.
$DOT Holds Above $7 Despite Volatile Week
Polkadot gained some of its strength this week after the price fell below its crucial $7 trading level last Sunday, closing the session at $6.93. $DOT ended the previous weekend off in the red after a reasonably strong show, where the price gained 6.58% during the week.
The market, however, turned bullish this week, with $DOT increasing 9.38% on Monday, allowing it to break past several key resistance levels. $DOT reached a high of $7.60 on Monday before settling at $7.58. A volatile session on Tuesday saw $DOT drop to a low of $7.43 before buyers regained control, settling the session at $7.62. Sellers, however, took control, pushing $DOT down by 2.10% to $7.46% on Wednesday.
$DOT witnessed the bearish sentiment continue Thursday, dropping as low as $6.91 and eventually recovering above $7, ending the session at $7.20. Polkadot’s price saw a marginal increase on Friday despite a volatile trading day. The price went as high as $7.39 and as low as $7.02 before ending the session at $7.25.
The price managed a marginal gain on Saturday, ending the session at $7.35.
