POL climbs amid record $9.12 billion in stablecoin transfers: weekly review
Polygon (POL, formerly MATIC) is trading at $0.0758, posting a weekly gain of $0.0061 (8.99%) and closing in the upper portion of its recent trading range. The asset remains below both the MA-20 ($0.0883) and MA-50 ($0.1408) on the weekly timeframe, underscoring persistent medium- and long-term selling pressure.
Highlights
- POL trades under key moving averages, reflecting persistent medium- and long-term selling pressure despite recent price recovery.
- Momentum and trend indicators remain decisively bearish, with oversold signals and low buyer participation, constraining prospects for sustained rebound.
- POL is likely to consolidate between $0.0690 and $0.0830 over the next week, with a higher probability of retesting recent lows.
Stablecoin transfer surge as network activity boosts sentiment this week
Polygon recorded a record $9.12 billion in stablecoin transfers, reflecting significant transaction volume on its network. The surge highlights robust ecosystem usage and continued growth within its blockchain infrastructure. Developments this week focused on network metrics and on-chain activity.
Seller dominance sustained as technical signals confirm persistent weakness
Weekly technical analysis shows that POL remains under key pressure, trading beneath the MA-20 and MA-50 with the Ichimoku Kijun acting as additional resistance above current levels. The MACD and ADX both indicate strong downward momentum, with the Bull/Bear Power also negative, confirming dominance by sellers. Despite the week’s price recovery, both RSI and CCI remain in oversold territory and the Stochastic RSI is neutral, pointing to a lack of clear buyer momentum as the Awesome Oscillator fails to confirm a trend reversal.
Limited upside risk as consolidation and downside scenarios dominate outlook
For the next 7 days, POL is expected to consolidate within a range of $0.0690 to $0.0830, as indicated by prevailing weekly volatility and weak bullish signals. The likelihood of a sustained upward breakout above $0.0830 is very low, with key weekly indicators reflecting continued selling pressure. Unless momentum shifts sharply, POL may test lower levels, and a drop below $0.0690 could open the door to further declines.
Earlier, analysts noted a persistent bearish trend for Polygon citing sustained selling pressure and oversold technical conditions. The current analysis confirms this ongoing weakness while highlighting that a decisive move above $0.0830 remains unlikely in the near term, making the ability to hold above $0.0690 a critical risk marker for traders.
