DOT Price Prediction: Polkadot Trades at $2.45 as EV2 Presale Gains Momentum

November brought mixed fortunes for crypto, as the market waxed and waned on a day-to-day basis. Similarly, the fear and greed index swung like a pendulum between fear and greed, with many traders unsure how to play the market.

Polkadot (DOT) underperformed against the wider market, settling to a price of $2.82 on November 14. The coin recorded a notable turn of fortune from Sep 16 when it hit a three-month peak of $4.72. Over the last 30-day period, however, DOT witnessed an 11.22% drop.

Elsewhere in the market, Bitcoin hit a price of $100,000 and Ethereum $3,200 as the major players retraced below previous highs. As Layers-1 looked sluggish, investors took their money elsewhere, rotating capital into fresh investment opportunities such as the presale of Web3 space-shooter EV2.

On the surface, this environment of gains and losses offers a mixed picture, but for studious analysts, there are a multitude of reasons to have optimism about the future direction of travel for the crypto market.

DOT Making Moves

Polkadot had both ups and downs in October, which was not unlike many of the other top players. Having hovered around or above the $4 mark since March, the coin now rests at $2.45.

DOT holders will be hoping the asset can consolidate its position, while non-holders can examine the coin’s current trajectory in search of a good entry point.

DOT’s RSI is currently around the 20 mark, suggesting weakness but also signalling Polkadot may now be oversold. On the MACD chart, the MACD line is currently pulling away from the signal line, indicating DOT has a little further to fall before climbing.

The $2 mark is a significant resistance point for DOT, meaning any further fall in price may represent significant value and a good buy-in. In the short to medium term, a realistic high for DOT would be around $3.50, with an optimistic prediction of $4 this year.

Polkadot bulls continue to make the case for DOT prices in excess of $10, with the coin breaking through this line in December of last year from a starting point of $3.75 on November 5, 2024.

If DOT can repeat the trick two years in a row, it would make a welcome Christmas present for all its holders.

EV2 Presale Takes Off

The best gems in crypto often come during periods of greater volatility, and a case in point comes in the form of EV2, a new Web3 game in development from the celebrated Funtico, the leading gaming hub on Avalanche.

EV2 is a space-shooter aiming to combine the gloss of AAA gaming productions with the transparency of Web3. The convergence of these powerful narratives has attracted serious interest from adroit investors.

Funtico invites customers to ‘suit up and save the future’ with the first call to action coming in the form of their presale event, which is currently live. The project aims to keep the blockchain components ‘invisible’ to first adopters, helping to onboard a new wave of users to the decentralized web via their user-friendly dashboard.

Tokens can be purchased with a range of cryptos, including ETH, USDT, BTC, BNB, SOL, SUPER, or via credit card.

Funtico says the presale is structured around an early-access journey rather than speculative trading, with a range of benefits in-game rewards, marketplace transactions, and community incentives. This model is in line with a report by GameFi Research Group, which noted that Web3 games are now focused on player engagement rather than token flips in 2025.
