Polkadot Price Forecast: Is Buying The DOT Dip A Smart Move?

A dip is common in the cryptocurrency market during a bearish downtrend. Most times, it could persist for a prolonged period. The current crypto winter of 2022 has seen the value of many coins drop. Investors are carefully weighing their options and considering if buying the dip is a smart move in the current market. Some investors move their assets to perceived safer ground as they brave the storm. In a price chart, a dip is identified as a valley. For Polkadot, expert predictions are varied on when the coin will eventually make the much-anticipated price comeback. Related Reading: Flow Rolls Out Blockchain Tools As Social Dominance, Coin Price Seen Rising Polkadot is way off its all-time high of $54.98 as of November 2021 to a modest $5.58, which is an exponential drop for the coin.  DOT is unique since the project focuses on parachains that interlink with each other. These parachains are customized project-specific blockchains intertwined with the relay chain of Polkadot. The relay chain – the Polkadot network, secures and connects these parachains in numbers between 100 -250.  Price Forecast For Polkadot The current market trend was also observed with Polkadot since it has been in a bearish reversal for months in 2022.  The price movement for DOT will depend largely on the activity of market forces. With the coin falling below previous support levels of $10.33, investors keep their fingers crossed to see if the bulls will rally. The general market sentiment holds that if Polkadot can break the resistance level of $7, then the bulls are rallying.  However, the strong bearish trend will continue if the price drops below the $5.70 support level. So far, in the year 2022, the price of the coin has been on a gradual decline. Even the parachains felt the effects as Acala USD (aUSD), for instance, lost its peg to the dollar.  Judging from Bitcoin’s dominance, the dip in bitcoins price and dominance is a signal of a possibly prolonged bearish market generally.  To Buy The Dip Or Not? Writing the entire project off as a colossal failure could be quite tempting. However, long-term crypto investors know that the market can suddenly reverse to an uptrend.  With macroeconomic factors like inflation, it is easy to see why the cryptocurrency market is on a downtrend right now. Inflation rates in major countries like the United States have been on the rise amid concerns of a global-scale recession. Also, the Ukraine-Russia conflict has impacted the market negatively. With the US-dollar-pegged stablecoin Terra crashing, the general belief is no project is immune to the grip of market forces. For now, experts believe that buying the dip would favour long-term investors. However, the price could dip further due to the volatility and risk associated with cryptocurrency.

But the general advice is: to buy the dip, use only money you can afford to lose. Price forecasts are mere speculations, and historically, cryptocurrencies frequently deviate from these assumptions.

Finder’s Panel Predicts 11% Growth For Bitcoin By Year-End

Finder’s panel has always shared thoughts regarding bitcoin and where they see the price going over the next months, and even years to come. In the last year, there have been some bullish predictions from the panels, but as time has gone on, these experts have begun to adjust their predictions to fit the current market. The most recent of these panels have revealed their thoughts on the digital asset and it is adjusted even lower. 11% Growth By Year-End The Finder’s panel shared their thoughts on where they believe the price of the digital asset will be ending up. According to them, they expect another 11% growth in the price of bitcoin from its current level. This will put BTC at a price of $21,344 by the time 2022 is over. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bottoms: The Psychology Of Bear Markets This is different from the previous predictions from the Finder’s panel through the course of 2021. Back in January 2022, the panel had said that they saw the price of BTC finishing the year at $76,360 by year-end. This would be reduced in April 2022 when the same panel had put the year-end price at $65,185. Another reduction saw them tender a $25,473 forecast for the digital asset back in July. One thing that remains constant is the reduction of the panel’s forecasts as the bear market continues. However, they still continue to maintain that bitcoin will still see an upward momentum towards the end of the year, hence the 11% prediction this time around. BTC price falls below $19,000 | Source: BTUCSD on TradingView.com Bitcoin In The Long Term Like always, the Finder’s panel did not only tender forecasts for the short term but also for the long term. These forecasts tend to span almost a decade, putting prices at where they think they will be at various important dates in the future. In addition to 2022, they also gave price forecasts for the years 2025 and 2030. Even these forecasts saw an upward trajectory, although lower than their previous expectations, keeping in line with the bullish outlook of the panel.  Related Reading: Dogecoin Hash Rate Hits 7-Month High, But What Are Price Expectations? The first, in 2025, they expect the asset to trade at $79,000. In April, this figure was $179,000, and $107,000 in July. The 2030 forecasts were revealed to be $270,000. To put this in perspective, the panel had previously said that BTC would hit $314,000 back in July, and $420,000 back in April.  Despite the varying price predictions, the report showed that 77% of the experts in the panel still believe that bitcoin is a store of value. “Nothing fundamentally has changed for Bitcoin, it’s a global capital crisis, and Bitcoin is affected in a short term but will recover; a lot of other financial assets will not,” said Serhii Zhdanov, CEO of EXMO.
