My $DOT Prediction for New Year’s Eve 2026📉 Bear-case: $2 – $4

Market stays risk-off or rotates away from infrastructure L1s

DOT continues building but without narrative traction

Inflation + weak demand caps upside

⚖️ Base-case (most likely): $6 – $10

Crypto market stabilizes or enters early expansion

Polkadot benefits from:

Cross-chain relevance (XCM, interoperability)

Active development & ecosystem maturity

Still undervalued vs 2021 hype, but no mania

🚀 Bull-case: $15 – $25

Strong altcoin cycle in 2026

Interoperability becomes a top narrative again

Parachain utility + real usage finally reflected in price

Why DOT is tricky (but interesting)

It blew off early (2021) before the ecosystem fully matured

Then it built quietly while price bled—classic infra cycle

DOT tends to move late, not early

Polkadot rarely pumps first —

it pumps when infrastructure matters again.

My personal lean:

➡️ $8–12 range if 2026 is constructive for crypto

➡️ Anything above $15 requires a strong narrative revival
