TL;DR

Polkadot (DOT) saw a 7% daily price increase, exceeding the $7.50 mark, with analysts predicting further gains, potentially reaching $10 and beyond. Analysts such as Michael van de Poppe and Block Diversity envision DOTs next targets in the $9-$25 range, boosted by the recent introduction of the JAM whitepaper and surpassing important resistance levels.

DOTs Next Possible Move

The cryptocurrency market is flashing green today (May 21), with Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Binance Coin (BNB), and many more leading digital assets charting impressive ascents. Polkadot (DOT) is also among the notable gainers, registering a 7% daily price increase.

Dippy.eth chipped in, too, suggesting that DOT wants to break out from the accumulation zone of $6.90-$7.50. In their view, reclaiming the $7.50 mark might lead to higher levels. Recall that the asset surpassed that mark a few hours ago and is currently trading at approximately $7.55 (per CoinGeckos data).

Crypto Tony touched upon the matter yesterday (May 20) when DOTs price was hovering around $6.90. The analyst said they are looking for a safe entry once the asset exceeds the $7.40 resistance mark. It will be interesting to follow whether the trader will jump into DOTs ecosystem as promised. 

Previous Forecasts

Another crypto analyst who envisioned a bright future for Polkadots native cryptocurrency is Michael van de Poppe. The X user, with over 700,000 followers, recently claimed that DOT has already bottomed, especially since the introduction of the JAM whitepaper. According to Michael van de Poppe, DOTs next price target could be in the $20-$25 range.

Recall that the team behind Polkadot released the Join-Accumulate Machine (JAM) Gray Paper last month. The upgrades goal is to create a more efficient, secure, and scalable blockchain environment that integrates the best aspects of both Polkadot and Ethereum technologies.

For their part, Block Diversity predicted a price rally toward $9, $11, and eventually $13 based on DOT clearing the major resistance level of $6.90.
