Acquisitions expand payments access as Polygon pursues US licensing
Polygon Labs has announced agreements to acquire Coinme, a regulated US stablecoin payments provider, and Sequence, a crypto infrastructure and wallet technology firm, in deals exceeding $250 million. These acquisitions will give Polygon access to regulated payments in 48 US states and expand its physical fiat-to-crypto network to 50,000 locations, supporting the launch of the Polygon Open Money Stack for unified fiat and digital payments. Sequence is set to be integrated into the ecosystem this month, and Coinme will follow later in the year, helping Polygon become a US-licensed payments platform.
Momentum persists as overbought signals challenge further rally
The nearest dynamic support for POL is at the Ichimoku Kijun ($0.1426), while notable resistance sits at the MA-200 ($0.1940). Daily MACD and ADX confirm strong upside momentum, and Bull/Bear Power with the Awesome Oscillator both support the ongoing upward trend. However, RSI and CCI are in overbought territory and Stochastic RSI is near overbought on shorter timeframes, indicating the risk of a short-term pullback. Elevated intraday volatility suggests buyers remain in control, with the price closing near session highs after a gap up.
Consolidation likely as technicals cap upside and risk reversal
Over the next five trading days, the expected price range for POL lies between $0.1500 and $0.1800, reflecting a volatility band relative to current levels. The probability of further sharp gains is low (less than 20%), while bearish weekly signals from MACD, RSI, and MA-50 point to a higher chance of a pullback or sideways movement. The baseline scenario is price consolidation between support at $0.1500 and resistance at $0.1800. Upside would depend on a sustained break above $0.1800, aiming for the MA-200, while a downside move below $0.1500 would make the Ichimoku Kijun the key support to watch.
Previously it was reported that Polygon Labs has acquired Coinme and Sequence in deals exceeding $250 million, significantly strengthening its position in regulated payments by gaining broad U.S. money transmission licenses and advanced wallet infrastructure. Analysts note that this strategic expansion, coinciding with bullish sentiment around stablecoin adoption and fintech integration, is positioning Polygon for further price momentum, with technical indicators suggesting firm support levels as the network pivots toward large-scale on-chain payments.
