Polkadot's market fundamentals paint an interesting picture right now. With an ecosystem market cap sitting at $3.5B, the project has clearly maintained substantial network strength despite market cycles.

Looking at the price action on weekly timeframes, DOT presents a compelling technical setup. The token peaked at $55 during bull runs and bottomed at $1.4, yet currently trades around $2.1. This positioning suggests meaningful upside potential remains on the table—the gap between current levels and historical peaks is substantial enough to warrant attention.

What makes this worth considering: we're trading closer to historical lows than highs, and the ecosystem itself continues to demonstrate resilience through its valuation. For traders hunting the weekly charts, this risk-reward ratio deserves a closer look. The combination of a robust market cap foundation and favorable technical positioning on longer timeframes could signal early entry opportunities.

2.1 dollars still want to turn around to 55? Dream on, no matter how strong the ecosystem is, it can't withstand the market downturn. This wave of DOT has really hit rock bottom, but I'm worried it might continue to fall... Has the bottom been confirmed, everyone? Feels like it's not quite there yet. By the way, the 3.5 billion ecosystem market cap still has potential, just not sure when that opportunity will come. Attention to those trading weekly charts, the risk-reward ratio looks good, but don't be fooled.

dot is indeed quite interesting at this position now. Although the ecosystem is still alive, I’m still hesitant... --- From $550 to $21, the price difference is really quite brutal, but I still don’t dare to go all in. --- The risk-reward ratio looks good, but I’m worried about another crash. --- The ecosystem market cap is holding up, but whether it will rise significantly depends on market sentiment. --- The weekly chart looks good, but I’m just afraid it’s another rinse-and-repeat scheme to harvest retail investors. --- From $1.4 to now, it has already increased quite a bit. Do you still dare to buy in? --- Ecosystem resilience sounds good, but who cares when the account is in the red? --- Early opportunity? I think we might need to wait a bit longer. --- With a $3.5 billion market cap, it looks like the project isn’t dead, but it’s not really thriving either.

Are there still people bottom-fishing around 2 dollars? I really can't hold back anymore.

Is the opportunity to buy the dip in DOT here? From 1.4 to 55, now 2.1... I damn well need to save money.

Nah, this wave of DOT is still hovering at the bottom. The real opportunity has to wait until the ecosystem data looks more promising. To be honest, a $3.5 billion market cap sounds impressive, but dropping from $55 to $2... that's a blow no one can withstand. The bottom is indeed the bottom, but who can say when it will rebound? A weekly chart looking good doesn't necessarily mean it will go up.

According to the database, DOT has dropped from $55 to $2.1. The "ecological prosperity" promised by the project team during that period has been fermenting for nearly three years. Now, we are waiting for the bloom.

$2.1 is still too expensive, feels like there's no more opportunity.

Dot, this wave, wait a bit, from 55 to 2.1... My goodness, how much does it need to fall to break even? --- As long as the ecosystem cap stabilizes, that's fine, but at this price level, bottom-fishing... I don't know if that day will come. --- The risk-reward ratio is indeed attractive, but you need to have good psychological resilience. --- The bottom signal is obvious, but traders need to withstand the volatility. --- A market cap of 3.5 billion can still be like this... It feels like the ecosystem resilience is pretty good; now it's just a matter of whether it can rise later. --- The weekly chart is worth a look, but don't follow the trend and go all in, everyone. --- From 1.4 to 2.1, there's been an increase, but it's still far from 55. This waiting method takes some time.

I'll generate a few comments with different styles: --- $2.1 still dare to touch? Those who heard this set of arguments last time are gone --- The ecosystem is indeed supported, but it's still far from 55... --- The weekly chart at this position is indeed worth watching, early participants are all making crazy profits --- Can the $3.5B market cap hold up? I have a feeling something's off --- Basically, it's a gamble on a rebound. Who knows if it will continue to drop
