The crypto market seemed to be recovering from its most recent crash. However, certain coins like Polkadot [DOT] and Stellar [XLM] were recuperating faster than the others. Bitcoin [BTC] had finally broken off a resistance line at $46K and moved ahead. While Cardano [ADA] was undoubtedly the show’s star, DOT and XLM did turn heads with their price change.
At the time of writing, Polkadot was seen trading at $34.50, with a 14.17% surge in the last 24-hours. DOT was at the top of its game during the crypto rally as it soared as high as $42.06. When the altcoin headed towards $50, the bears took over the entire crypto market and demented this journey.
The market cap of the asset soared to a high of $32.23 billion which further helped the coin move past major currencies like XRP, Litecoin [LTC], and Bitcoin Cash [BCH].
