Highlights

  • POL trades notably below key moving averages, confirming sustained downward momentum and medium- to long-term selling pressure.
  • Multiple technical indicators signal an oversold market, with sellers maintaining strong control and negative momentum prevailing.
  • Expected price range for the next week is $0.062 to $0.076, with a high probability of continued downside unless $0.076 is reclaimed.

Stablecoin volume surge and integration news shape market outlook this week

Polygon processed approximately $80 billion in stablecoin transfer volume in May 2026, establishing itself as a significant settlement layer for digital payments. The Polygon zkEVM Mainnet Beta will cease operations on July 1, 2026, requiring users to withdraw assets before this date. In addition, Polygon is confirmed as an early integration network for the upcoming Open USD (OUSD) stablecoin, which is set to launch later in 2026.

Bearish momentum prevails as oversold signals strengthen over the week

Technical signals on the weekly chart remain strongly bearish. The price sits far below both the MA-20 and MA-50, with the Ichimoku Kijun at $0.1274 offering significant overhead resistance. Weekly momentum indicators reinforce downside risks: MACD is in strong sell mode, ADX (23.54) points to a bearish trend, and all oscillators (RSI at 33.07, Stochastic RSI at 4.04, and CCI at -169.76) indicate oversold conditions. Bull/Bear Power is negative and overall volatility is elevated at 10.56%. Support is seen around $0.062, with resistance at $0.076 and higher around the MA-20.

Consolidation likely with further downside if key support breaks next week

Looking ahead to the next 7 days, the most probable scenario is continued consolidation between $0.062 and $0.076, given the strong selling momentum and absence of bullish signals on the weekly indicators. A break below $0.062 would open the way for further declines, as no significant technical support lies beneath this level. The chance of a rebound is low, with less than 20% probability, unless POL can recapture and sustain pricing above $0.076. Until then, the bearish trend is expected to persist, and price stabilization within the current corridor is the baseline expectation.

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, sees persistent bearish momentum in Polygon this week, reinforced by a steep weekly decline and the price sitting well below major moving averages. He notes that oversold technical signals have not attracted sustained buying, and sector flows remain subdued despite positive headlines around stablecoin integrations and upcoming network events. Mehta believes downside risk remains elevated unless the $0.076 resistance is convincingly reclaimed. "Unless Polygon can recapture $0.076 soon, I expect price to consolidate in the $0.062–$0.076 range — for now, capital preservation takes priority over trying to catch a rebound."

Previously, analysts noted persistent bearish momentum for Polygon, reinforced by oversold conditions and continued selling pressure. The current outlook not only confirms this sustained downtrend but also highlights elevated volatility, making the support at $0.062 a critical threshold for assessing renewed downside risk in the days ahead.
