Not only that, but the daily codes committed also remained relatively high. However, DeFiLlama’s data revealed that Polkadot took a blow in its DeFi space as its TVL went under the 4100 thousand mark last week.

Not only that, but DOT’s price also remained under bears’ influence, thanks to the market condition. At press time, DOT was trading at $4.42 with a market capitalization of over $5 billion. The price drop caused DOT’s 1-week price volatility to rise. The token’s trading volume also declined last week, reflecting less interest from investors in trading the token.
Additionally, DOT’s demand in the derivatives market fell, as evident from its red Binance funding rate. However, Polkadot’s development activity continued to remain high last week.

Going forward
Like the metrics, DOT’s market indicators were also bearish. For instance, the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Ribbon supported the sellers as the 20-day EMA was well below the 55-day EMA. As per the Bollinger Bands, DOT’s price was in a high volatility zone, which suggested that the price could move with high volatility in either direction.
Nonetheless, the good news was that its Money Flow Index (MFI) was in an oversold zone, which can increase buying pressure. Another bullish indicator was the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), which registered an uptick.
