Polygon [POL] achieved another milestone in stablecoin transfers.
Interestingly enough, AMBCrypto reported that the network saw a high trading activity and a large number of stablecoin addresses.
The 25.9 million POL burn was another key factor that strengthened the token’s fundamentals. More burns are planned in the coming months to tighten the circulating supply.

On the 1-day timeframe, Polygon has a long-term bearish bias.
While the recent bounce took it past the $0.1 mark, the local resistance at $0.119 was swept before POL reversed in the lower timeframes.
However, the A/D indicator made new local highs to show buyers have some strength. If this pressure is sustained, POL might rally as high as the 78.6% retracement level at $0.1646.
On the way there, the $0.135 level would likely pose the biggest obstacle to the short-term buyers. This outcome would become more likely if the $0.119 level is flipped from resistance to support.
Here’s why POL traders should maintain bearish bias

High network activity and token burns might not be enough to halt short-term selling pressure.
The 1-hour chart revealed the struggle Polygon bulls faced as they pushed prices to the local $0.119 resistance.
On Saturday, the 14th of February, the high hourly trading volume and the strong rally seemed to hint at a possible breakout.
However, the sell-off had high volume too, showing that buyers exhausted themselves pushing the price to resistance. The immediate rejection meant the move only succeeded in grabbing the liquidity clustered around $0.11-$0.12.
The H1 internal structure was bearish once again.
Moreover, this timeframe’s moving averages were on the verge of a bearish crossover and were also acting as resistance to POL at the time of writing.
Combined with the Bitcoin rejection from the $70.7k local supply zone, it appeared highly likely that the Polygon Ecosystem token prices would continue to trend downward in the next few days.
Final Summary
- The long-term trend of POL was bearish. However, the coming weeks can see the $0.119 supply zone flipped to demand, and a relief rally to $0.135-$0.164.
- In the next 24-48 hours, more losses appeared likely for the altcoin.
