Will a token go for another cycle or not? (Educational + $DOT chart request)

Everything cycles in a pretty similar and consistent way.

Bitcoin, the total altcoin market cap, Altcoins that survived a cycle, and the freshly dropped Altcoins. 

You wait through the bear market (stage 2), as it flattens below the macro range low.

Then comes stage 3: equal highs/lows, the accumulation range.

You allocate either at range lows of stage 3, or after a deviation there, or on the macro range low reclaim + higher high, the shift into stage X (bull market).

And you ride the bull wave (stage 5)

Another reality is that most of the Altcoins don't go through another cycle. They will stay and die in stage X forever. 

example: wanchain, the Korean ethereum of 2017 (or was that ICX?)

> Had one mini pump into the range lows in the cycle after
> Failed
> Died in stage X (2500 days and counting)

What matters here and what makes the difference:
> Is the token still alive (or did the dev die)
> Is the product generating revenue and makes the token sense (or at least: does it provide from revenue)
> Is the token still getting attention, and in a sector that gets attention
> bla bla bla fundamentals

Now, in regards to @Polkadot, as requested in the tweet I'm quoting, I genuinely don't know, but would love to learn more. 

Chart:
> Great spot from a risk/reward perspective. 
> This is where you want to pick up the tokens you believe in
> It even gave the range low (stage X range) deviation, which gives you a clear entry and invalidation.
> Lot of upside, great risk reward.
> Now, even if it does not cycle a full cycle because of FA reasons, I think it has a good chance it will lift up with the rest of the market if that continues to at least the stage X highs. (it already did it this cycle, can do it again)

Fundamentals:
> Now these decide if a token will cycle again from these lows
> Is Polkadot still alive? 
> Does it have a community?
> Are people using it, building on it, or does it make revenue?
> Are there things being built upon that are in this cycle's hot sectors?
> I've seen Polkadot in the yappers list, some people talking about it
> but again, know little to less about it to say something valuable. 

Please enlighten me, gang; is polkadot still alive and hot?
