Polkadot surprised the crypto community with a 41% pump. Possible reasons: 1. Halving on March 14, 2026 - Polkadot's first-ever halving will slash annual token issuance by over 50%, marking its shift to a deflationary model. The scarcity narrative is driving strong bullish sentiment. 2. ETF Filing - Potential Polkadot ETFs by institutions like Grayscale and 21Shares are fueling investor anticipation. 3. Technical Breakout - DOT broke above the daily 20 EMA and horizontal resistance at around $1.40+, while holding firm support at $1.23, a setup that could have triggered momentum buyers.(Lark Davis)
