Polkadot price reveals positive outlooks for DOT holders
Polkadot price on the daily chart shows that the $6.36 to $8.78 range formed in mid-June 2022 is crucial. A close observation reveals that this range has clearly defined breakouts in the past. From a long-term perspective for DOT, investors could expect a retest of the range’s midpoint at $7.57.
A decisive flip of this hurdle on the daily timeframe could open the path for Polkadot price to tag the range high at $8.78. This move, in total, would constitute a 38% upswing.

A four-hour chart shows that traders can capitalize on a much smaller rally for Polkadot price. Interested investors can accumulate DOT at the current level and look for acceptance above the long-term range’s lower level at $6.36.
A successful move would allow DOT to trigger a quick run-up and tag the 62% retracement level of the 35% crash witnessed between February and March 2023. This move would constitute a 10.6% gain for traders.
In some cases, Polkadot price might extend to retest the 70.5% retracement level at $7.08, bringing the total gain to 14.4%.

Supporting this bullish outlook for Polkadot price is the Development Activity, which hit an all-time high of 358.57 on March 21. This index tracks the pure development-related activity by DOT developers in the project’s public GitHub repository.
This uptick from 117.14 on January 8 suggests that developers have been working on the improvement of the project. Often, investors consider this index as one of the signs before buying the project’s underlying token. A project that’s bustling with developer activity suggests a safe investment and a spike in development activity supports a bullish outlook for the underlying token.
