Are you seeing the rapid movement in Dot? Recently, there was a jump of over 41%. I also noticed this and thought, what's really going on?
The thing is, we're waiting for Polkadot's halving — scheduled for March 2026. This will reduce the annual token issuance by more than 50%. That's a big deal in crypto terms. Along with that, news of ETF filings has also come out — major names like Grayscale and 21Shares are working on it. So, all these factors together create a strong outlook.
Technically, DOT broke the $1.40 level. Now, support is around $1.23. This is a combination of three things — reduced supply, ETF expectations, and a technical breakout. Many people are saying this is a good setup.
However, quick pumps usually come back down fast. The key is to see if $1.40 can now act as support and how volume behaves. This is an exciting moment in Polkadot's crypto story.
