Polkadot (DOT) has struggled during the market’s latest downturn, with its price turning bearish after another failed attempt to conquer the $5 price level.
Since the past week, DOT has struggled to push above $4.20, as intense selling pressure and growing bearish sentiment weigh down on the asset’s price.
Polkadot (DOT) Endures Bearish Week
Polkadot (DOT) recovered on Thursday despite falling to a day low of $3.99, as buyers mounted a recovery. As a result, DOT reclaimed $4 but only registered a marginal increase of 0.73% to settle at $4.13. This hinted that bullish momentum was weak at best. DOT continued to recover on Friday, registering a rise of 1.45% to settle at $4.19. However, the weekend began on a negative note as DOT dropped by 1.19% to $4.14 before recovering on Sunday to register an increase of 1.21% and move to $4.19.

The current week began with DOT attempting a move towards $4.50. However, it could only push to $4.27 before sellers took control and pushed the price back down.

But will DOT be able to sustain this recovery? Besides being unable to push above $5, DOT has struggled to move above $4.50 and, more recently, $4.20, being dragged down from this level earlier this week. As a result, DOT is struggling to gain momentum and break above key levels. Buyers must ensure DOT stays above $4 for any bullish momentum to build.
