• Polkadot price fluctuated in a tight range near $1.50 on Tuesday.
• Bulls could push to above $1.67 ahead of DOT emissions cut.
• Sell-off pressure amid prevailing market conditions might derail this setup.

Polkadot is trading near $1.50 as bulls position amid a potential breakout, with eyes on the upcoming upgrade and overhaul of DOT’s tokenomics.

The cryptocurrency’s price is also off lows of $1.40 reached earlier in the week as investors ponder a potential boost to DOT from fresh institutional interest.

Bulls recently celebrated the launch of the first US spot Polkadot ETF.

DOT, ranked 33rd with a market capitalization of $2.54 billion, is bidding to extend gains amid overall upward movement for Bitcoin and top altcoins.

Polkadot (DOT) holds near $1.50 as upgrade nears

Polkadot’s price shows an intraday range of $1.49-1.54 in early trading during the US session on March 10.

The gains see buyers bid for a retest of recent highs, while holding the critical $1.50 level.

The backdrop to this price action is a scheduled reset of Polkadot’s tokenomics.

A new monetary framework will roll out on March 12, and analysts say anticipation could catalyze fresh momentum for DOT.

The uptick this past week coincided with notable buying as traders positioned ahead of the event.

Specifically, Polkadot’s tokenomics reset will involve the introduction of a 2.1 billion hard cap on DOT supply.

The upgrade targets a 53.6% cut in emissions as well as staking.

ETF buzz has also engulfed Polkadot over the past few days.

This follows the debut of 21Shares’ spot Polkadot ETF, the first US spot DOT ETF that went live on Nasdaq under the ticker TDOT.

The physically backed fund, seeded with $11 million, could strengthen the asset’s appeal as a longer‑term allocation within diversified crypto portfolios.

Polkadot technical analysis

From a technical perspective, DOT’s immediate focus is on converting the $1.50-$1.55 region from resistance into support.

Bulls are eyeing three consecutive green candles on the daily chart and look to have stemmed the downtrend from highs of $1.75 posted in late February.

RSI is neutral near 50, and an upturn could see buyers accelerate gains.

However, after a choppy start to the year, trading around this level means bulls may not be out of the woods yet.

The token may thus trade sideways as consolidation picks pace.

For a breakout, DOT has to achieve an emphatic daily close above $1.55.

A successful breach of resistance at $1.67 amid a bullish retest could trigger follow-through buying.

If this happens, it could open the door to a short-term test of recent local highs around $2.30.

Conversely, failure to hold $1.50 will keep DOT confined within its descending channel. Major support lies around $1.22.

• Chainlink trades above $9 and could see a breakout amid a bullish technical setup.
• Market conditions and overall weakness may allow bears to eye support near $8.
• If bulls take control, LINK could rally towards past year highs.

Chainlink price rose slightly on Tuesday as the latest gains pushed Bitcoin to above $70,000 and altcoins showed strength amid easing investor jitters around the Iran war.

While LINK price remains in a downtrend amid the crypto market’s overall sentiment, bulls are holding steady above $9 and could extend upwards as a key technical setup strengthens.

At the time of writing, LINK’s price hovered around $9.13, up 3.4% in the past 24 hours and 6% in the past week as buyers pushed prices off lows of $8.40 reached on Monday, March 9.

Notably, Chainlink is edging higher amid an 8% increase in daily trading volume.

LINK price today

Chainlink’s latest price movement indicates resilience despite overall uncertainty around macro and geopolitical headwinds.

However, the gains to intraday highs of $9.16 means bulls have a slight cushion after Monday’s dip.

Daily volume stands at over $721 million.

A notable aspect of LINK price over the past month or so is the resilience shown through inflows into spot exchange-traded fund products.

According to SoSoValue data, Chainlink spot ETFs saw inflows of $2 million on March 9, up from $935k on March 6 and $1.93 million a day earlier.

Cumulative inflows totaled $92.66 million, suggesting investor conviction. Prices may rebound hard amid further ETF action.

Chainlink price technical forecast

The daily chart shows Chainlink price poised near the upper boundary of a long-term descending channel.

Bulls’ gains in the past week have also pushed the token into a tightening consolidation pattern marked by a downtrend line from the highs of $27 hit in August 2025.

As the chart shows, LINK has traded within a tight range between $7.84 and $9.55 since bouncing from the lows on February 5.

The $8.10 level has acted as a key support level during this time.

However, more importantly, LINK is near the resistance mark of both the parallel channel and the downtrend line.

While LINK price remains confined within the bearish structure, a breakout is likely to catapult prices to an initial supply zone around $12.

Buyers may also fancy a short-term push to highs of $14, another support-turned-resistance level from November and December 2025.

If a stronger uptick across crypto materializes, $19.85 would provide the next hurdle before bulls likely retest $27.

On the downside, bears could have fresh momentum at the $8.32–$8.50 zone.

But if bulls manage to hold above this area, LINK’s breakout structure will remain.

• Sei token is trading up as bulls mirror broader crypto gains.
• The layer-1 blockchain project has notable growth across treasuries, equities, and agentic tools.
• Broader market conditions and the technical picture favour downward price action.

The Sei Network (SEI) price has increased by nearly 5% in the past 24 hours, gaining amid a broader uptick that sees several altcoins trading higher at elevated volumes.

The high-speed Layer-1 blockchain optimized for trading is experiencing a resurgence amid key milestones across several market segments, and the SEI price, which hovers near $0.065, could tap into these potential bullish catalysts to climb higher.

Sei price outlook

The SEI token hit an all-time high above $1.14 in March 2024, having rallied from lows of $0.0007 in August of the previous year.

The token has declined from $0.37 in August 2025 and is down about 67% over the past year amid a prolonged bearish trend.

Current market conditions suggest bulls may struggle to reclaim the recent peaks.

Technical indicators show the path of least resistance remains downward, even as the daily RSI signals an oversold bounce.

SEI’s current price is well below the key moving averages, including the 50-day and 100-day simple moving averages at $0.079 and $0.1005.

However, analysts are pointing to ecosystem growth and institutional adoption as potential catalysts that could combine with an anticipated uptick in altcoins to drive prices higher.

Sei’s financial stack accelerates

Sei shared in an X post on Mar 10 that the project’s financial infrastructure has witnessed tremendous growth over the past two months.

This includes milestones such as daily active addresses (DAA) jumping to 1.7 million, reached as the L1 records seven consecutive quarters of expansion.

Among key developments in this period is Ondo Finance’s launch of tokenized US Treasuries across Sei lending markets.

The integration allows users to access yield-bearing assets seamlessly, bridging traditional finance with decentralized ecosystems and pushing the native token to the forefront of adoption.

The project has also attracted attention amid interest in equities trading, with Chainlink’s equities price feeds set to roll out on Sei through the oracle-backed platform Monaco Trading.

Meanwhile, Sei is recording traction in real-world utility with a stablecoin payroll solution, agentic consumer finance tools, and custody solutions.

Coinbase announced full SEI EVM integration, and Kraken went live with native SEI EVM deposits and withdrawals.

These are bullish factors, even as metrics such as total value locked tank and stablecoin usage on Sei flounder.

Notably, TVL has dropped from a high of $1.37 billion in July 2025 to under $80 million.

Stablecoin market capitalization is also down, dipping by 17% in the past week to about $119 million.

If market sentiment remains bearish, it could reflect in the token’s short-term price action.

However, if Sei’s financial stack maintains an upward trajectory, near-term projections include a breakout above the psychological 1 mark.

• Zcash gained 9% to above $215 but faces resistance and could dump hard.
• The altcoin rose amid Bitcoin’s rebound to above $69,000 on Monday.
• Privacy coin narrative and venture funding have helped ignite ZEC’s uptick.

Zcash (ZEC) rose nearly 9% after bouncing from recent lows, placing the token among the top gainers among the 100 largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalisation.

The privacy-focused coin retested resistance above $215 as altcoins broadly posted modest gains over the past 24 hours.

Sentiment improved after Bitcoin climbed above $69,000, helping lift the wider market.

ZEC advanced alongside other privacy-oriented tokens, including Tornado Cash, Oasis Network, and Dash.

Monero (XMR) also recorded gains, with the token rising nearly 3% over the past 24 hours.

What could help Zcash price higher?

While the broader market rebound has supported Zcash (ZEC), other factors may also be contributing to the token’s recent bounce.

ZEC appears to be drawing momentum from a new report by the United States Department of the Treasury, which acknowledged that crypto privacy tools such as token mixers can serve legitimate purposes.

The report states that such tools may be used for “legitimate financial privacy purposes,” marking a shift in tone from previous official positions regarding mixers and other privacy-focused technologies.

“Lawful users of digital assets may leverage mixers to enable financial privacy when transacting through public blockchains,” the Treasury said in its report to Congress.

The token has also benefited from ecosystem developments.

The team behind a new Zcash-powered mobile wallet recently secured $25 million in a funding round backed by several venture capital firms active in the digital asset sector.

Zcash Open Development Lab (ZODL) has secured over $25 million in funding from a16z, Paradigm, Winklevoss Capital, Coinbase Ventures, Cypherpunk Technologies, Maelstrom (family office of Arthur Hayes), Chapter One, David Friedberg, Haseeb Qureshi, Mert, Balaji and others.

According to ZODL, the backing “signals strong investor confidence” in shielded ZEC transactions.

Players that participated in the funding include Paradigm, a16z crypto, Winklevoss Capital, and Coinbase Ventures.

Others were Cypherpunk Technologies and Arthur Hayes’ family office, Maelstrom.

Josh Swihart, the former CEO of Zcash developer Electric Coin Company (ECC), founded Zodl (formerly Zashi) in 2024.

Zcash price: breakout or dump below $175?

Zcash (ZEC) was among the standout performers in the privacy-focused segment of the crypto market in 2025.

The token rallied from lows near $50 in September to a peak of about $700 by mid-November.

However, the gains proved difficult to sustain as the broader market turned lower.

As Bitcoin declined and the wider crypto market followed, ZEC retraced sharply, slipping to below $220.

The token fell further to around $184 on February 5, 2026, during a broader market sell-off that coincided with the departure of core developers from Electric Coin Company (ECC).

Following the sharp downturn, ZEC is currently down about 58% on a year-to-date basis.

Zcash price chart by TradingView

The daily chart indicates that Zcash (ZEC) has rebounded from a key support level near $200.

If upward momentum strengthens, the token could test initial resistance in the $290–$300 range, with a potential move toward $400 if buying pressure persists.

The relative strength index (RSI) has turned higher around the 50 level, suggesting the possibility of continued bullish momentum.

However, the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) points to weakening upside strength, which could give sellers an opportunity to push the price back toward recent lows.

On the downside, ZEC could decline to levels last seen in October 2025 if bearish pressure intensifies.

A decisive close below $175 may open the door to further losses, with the next key support level around $120.
