- If momentum continues, the coin could push toward resistance near $0.265.
POL (Polygon) Outperforms Market, Reaches $0.23
POL, the native token of the Polygon ecosystem, is among the best-performing cryptocurrencies within the top 50 by market capitalization. The token gained over 5% in value during the past 24 hours and is currently trading above $0.23 per coin.
There is no single clear catalyst behind POL’s rally; the move appears to be part of a broader market recovery. The crypto market had been under pressure earlier in the week but shifted higher after registering positive 24-hour returns.
Bitcoin reclaimed the $115k range while Ether approached resistance around $3,730 once again. XRP traded near $3 and other major altcoins also recorded gains.
POL has slipped from the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market cap and currently sits near the 41st position. Despite this ranking change, Polygon remains one of the leading projects in the crypto space.
POL Eyes $0.265 High
The POL/USD 4-hour chart shows an overall bullish structure but with inefficiencies, suggesting potential downward moves to capture liquidity before a further upswing. The inefficiency zone sits around $0.22, and POL could revisit that level in the coming hours before resuming its rally.
Technical indicators are favoring buyers, indicating market control by bullish participants. The RSI reading near 68 signals buying pressure but has not yet entered overbought territory, implying room for further upside. The MACD line is also in positive territory, supporting the bullish bias.
If the rally continues, POL could aim for the July high near $0.265 in the coming hours. A sustained bullish extension would put $0.30 back on the table for the first time since March.
That said, the market could see a correction that tests lower support zones. In that scenario, POL may retest strong support and the trendline quadrature (TLQ) around $0.2086.
