$DOT ** is showing a **mild to moderate price increase** today (as of February 13, 2026, around 10-11 PM PKT).
From live sources like CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko, TradingView, and others:
- Current DOT price is around **$1.28 to $1.32 USD** (most trackers converging on ~$1.30–$1.32 with recent upticks).
- 24-hour change: Up approximately **+3% to +5.5%** (e.g., +3.43%, +5.02%, +5.57% reported; some show minor dips like -0.3% to -1% but overall positive momentum in latest updates).
- It ranged from a low near **$1.25–$1.26** to highs around **$1.30–$1.33**.

- 24-hour trading volume: Solid at **$93–$100 million USD**.
This follows the broader market recovery—BTC up ~4-5%, SOL up ~7-8%, ETH up ~3-7%, CHZ up ~1%, and total crypto market cap in the $2.3–$2.4 trillion range (some sources note slight variations up to $2.36T). Polkadot (the interoperability-focused blockchain) has been in a downtrend longer-term (far from its ATH of ~$55 in 2021, recently hitting lows around $1.13–$1.15 earlier this month), but today's gains align with altcoin strength amid the rebound.
