Polkadot Stalls Below $4.5 Even After Agile Coretime Launch: What’s Going On?

Polkadot (DOT) needs help at spot rates. When writing, DOT is still trading below $4.5 despite the broader recovery. Bitcoin and Ethereum, for example, are trading above local resistances now support, at around $60,000 and $2,400, respectively. DOT Struggling, Bulls Capped Below $4.5 A look at the DOT price action in the daily chart reveals that the coin is trending inside the September 14 to 18 bear range. Even though there were gains on September 18, which has since acted as the base for the current swing high, bulls are not capitalizing on the momentum.

If broken, it could trigger a wave of demand that may be the building blocks for more gains, extending the current 18% rally from September lows. Interestingly, DOT bulls are slow to tap into the improving crypto sentiment and break this resistance level. This underwhelming performance also comes even after the introduction of Agile Coretime. According to Polkadot developers, this feature is a crucial component of the next network phase, Polkadot 2.0. Agile Coretime Out As Developers Prepares For Polkadot 2.0 The Agile Coretime rollout, released last week, introduces multiple features that will benefit developers and protocols launched on the platform. Top of the list, developers said Agile Coretime introduces even more flexibility. This is because the feature permits projects to access network resources as needed. They won’t have to be locked into a fixed slot like before. Additionally, Agile Coretime seeks to push scalability higher. To do this, the feature enables adaptable core allocation. Subsequently, higher network efficiency allows the platform to support even more diverse applications. Agile Coretime sets the ball rolling for the eventual activation of Polkadot 2.0. This upgrade sets the stage for overhauling the current resource allocation model, making it more market-driven.

Moreover, developers will be looking to introduce Asynchronous Backing, which seeks to separate the Relay Chain, which is core to Polkadot and Parachains. The idea is to improve efficiency and drive scalability. Though developers are lining up major developments, DOT is lagging and trending near 2024 lows. DOT’s performance will largely depend on the general market sentiment and Bitcoin or Ethereum’s performance. DOT will likely benefit if these coins break their respective all-time highs in the coming weeks. Feature image from iStock, chart from TradingView
