Polkadot [DOT] has been failing to make investors happy with its price action. DOT was most likely in this situation because of the bearish market, which restricted most assets to register greens. According to CoinMarketCap, DOT’s price has declined by 7% in the last seven days. At press time, it was trading at $5.99 with a market capitalization of more than $7 billion.
