Polygon’s Rise: A Most Curious Affair! 🧐

by

Upon the Subject of Polygon‘s Recent Fortunes

It has come to pass that Polygon’s POL hath experienced a most agreeable elevation of 12% to the sum of $0.2736, spurred, it seems, by an increase in Active Addresses, Daily Transactions, and the eager accumulation by those who fancy themselves investors. However, one must not be swept away by enthusiasm, for whispers of profit-taking and a rather impertinent rise in Spot Netflows suggest a degree of caution.

After a spirited defence of the support at $0.23, Polygon [POL] did rally a noteworthy 12.72% to a height not seen for three months, reaching $0.2736. Indeed, the volume of trade swelled by 34% to $315.7 million, and the market cap itself attained the respectable sum of $2.8 billion. One wonders if such activity shall be sustained.

A Demand Most Unexpected

The usage of Polygon’s network has strengthened, or so the gentlemen with their charts proclaim.

According to one Artemis, Active Addresses have climbed from 447,000 to 665,000 – an increase of 25%, indicating a revived interest. One does hope it is not merely a passing fancy. 🤔

Simultaneously, Daily Transactions recovered to 4 million – a growth of 7.9%, and thus suggesting a heightened degree of activity upon the chain.

A Mr. Dhee, writing upon the X platform (formerly known as Twitter, a frivolous pursuit if ever there was one), alleges that these transactions were bolstered by the recent Polygon PoS USDT upgrade to the USDT0 standard. It would appear Polygon now leads in the transaction of these USDT0 addresses – a distinction, though its value remains debatable.

Furthermore, on the 18th of August, data from Sealunch revealed Polygon recorded 780,000 transacting addresses, exceeding those of Arbitrum, which managed a mere 492,000. A rather humbling disparity, don’t you think? 🤭

Meanwhile, Polygon appears to be slowly establishing itself as a hub for stablecoins within Singapore, as observed by a Mr. Petertherock, a fellow of some consequence in these matters.

He notes that, over the past four months, it has processed $66 million, $88 million, $74 million, and $94 million in XSGD transfers. A considerable sum, to be certain.

The Prudent Accumulation of Buyers

It is noteworthy that, as POL descended to $0.23, buyers did, in fact, step forward. A most sensible course of action, wouldn’t you agree? 😉

According to Coinalyze, Buy Volume reached 86.7 million, exceeding the 70.6 million Sell Volume, resulting in a Buy-Sell Delta of 16.1 million. This accumulation has occurred for two days running, a sign, perhaps, of a strengthening position.

And Yet, the Temptation to Realize Profits

As one might expect, with POL’s recent recovery, certain holders have been overcome by the desire to convert their holdings into ready money. A very human failing, indeed.

For example, Santiment’s Ratio of Daily On-chain Transaction Volume in Profit to Loss has surged to 3.24.

This signifies that for every losing transaction, there are three that prove profitable – a substantial number! Such a surge warns of potential corrections, as the temptation to sell may overwhelm prudence.

Furthermore, exchange activity reflects this increasing tendency towards selling.

According to CoinGlass, Polygon’s token has recorded positive Spot Netflows for two consecutive days.

At present, Netflow stands at $929,000, diminished from the prior day’s $2.02 million, indicating a greater influx of funds for sale.

Momentum, Though It Must Be Viewed With a Skeptical Eye

According to an analysis by AMBCrypto, the RSI has climbed to 61, suggesting bullish momentum.

The Directional Movement Index shows the Positive DI at 24 and the Negative DI at 20, indicating a dominance of buyers. Still, one must not place too much faith in such indicators; they are prone to deception.

Should buying activity persist, $0.28 presents the next key resistance, with the possibility of extending towards $0.30. However, should it falter at $195, a decline towards $0.247 may be anticipated. Let us observe these developments with due circumspection.
