Polygon’s native token POL (previously MATIC) rose nearly 3% over the past 24 hours, outperforming the broader market, after establishing multiple support zones, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis data.
The token climbed from $0.184 to $0.189 with a trading range of $0.0082 (4.28%), reflecting constructive volatility patterns, according to the model.
The token built solid support foundations within the $0.183 to $0.184 corridor, where buyers consistently emerged. Exceptional volume activity up to 597,718 substantially surpassed the daily average of 189,000, indicating robust institutional engagement during rally phases and confirming successful penetration above $0.187 resistance, the model showed.
The technical landscape also shows progressive higher lows between $0.1890-$0.1892, indicating foundational support strength, while overhead resistance persists around $0.1897, establishing a compressed trading band that reflects market equilibrium before potential directional resolution.
The token outperformed the broader crypto market as measured by the CoinDesk 20 Index, which rose about 1.7% over the same period.
The move comes amid recent announcement of Polygon PoS’s consensus layer, Heimdall v2, landing 10 July 2025, according to the foundation’s CEO. «This is the most technically complex hard-fork Polygon PoS has seen since it’s launch in 2020,» he said in an X post.
