DOT price movement has shifted to a narrow consolidation zone between $2.09 and $2.16, with stable volumes signaling routine participation after last week's sharp rally.
Polkadot (DOT) traded mostly unchanged, slipping 0.2% to $2.13 within a $2.09–$2.16 range as volumes ran 9.8% above the seven-day average, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis model. Institutional buying emerged at $2.09 support during an intraday dip, while heavy volume at $2.15 resistance capped advances. The CoinDesk 20 index fell 1.2% during the same period. The session’s largest trade spike occurred on December 8 at 20:00, with 5 million DOT exchanged—80% above the 24-hour average—reinforcing current range boundaries. Analysts see a break above $2.16 opening a path to $2.20–$2.25, while a drop below $2.09 could target $2.00.
