He pointed out a key level at $3.91, emphasizing the need for Polkadot to hold this level to avoid further downside pressure.

Cheeky Crypto highlighted the importance of monitoring smaller timeframes to understand the larger weekly and monthly structures. The analyst then shifted the focus to Polkadot’s long-term potential, mentioning the accumulation zones and opportunities for growth in the future bull market. 

In another related report, it was pointed out that Polkadot’s core developers were working on expanding the ecosystem by increasing the parachain limit from 100 to 1,000, with the help of software updates.
