Polygon (POL) Eyes $0.176 Resistance After Bounce

According to TradingView, the POL price is hovering near $0.106 after bouncing from the $0.087–$0.090 support zone, close to the lower Bollinger Band at $0.0869. 

The middle band and 20 SMA sit around $0.1022, acting as short-term support. Immediate upside pressure targets the upper band near the $0.117–$0.1175 resistance zone.

The MA ribbon indicates that the 20 SMA is at 0.1022, the 50 SMA is at 0.1204, the 100 SMA is at 0.1243, and the 200 SMA is at 0.1765, indicating a bearish setup. 

The current price is below the 50 SMA, the 100 SMA, and the 200 SMA, and thus any upside is strongly resisted. To support a bullish scenario, a close above 0.120 to 0.124 is required, with targets at 0.150 and 0.176.

Structurally, the bias is still bearish despite the recent bounce. A failure to hold above $0.117-$0.120 will likely see the price return to $0.090, with a risk of falling to $0.075 support. 

A decisive break above $0.124 will turn the bias positive, with targets at $0.150 and the strong level at $0.170-$0.176.

Polygon Rising Activity Strengthens Altcoin Market

Historical on-chain data from Token Terminal, reveals that Polygon has been breaking the record of Ethereum in daily transaction fees, which is a very unusual trend for altcoins. 

The fees on Polygon exceeded $300,000 yesterday, which is a sign of a growing number of users on the network.

Charts indicate that Ethereum fees are still fluctuating, while Polygon is steadily increasing, even reversing the fee trend. 

As a Layer Two scaling solution, Polygon ensures that transaction fees remain low, attracting more traffic. The increased traffic indicates more decentralized applications, liquidity, and trust in altcoins, which may define market structure globally in the coming quarters.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening.

She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
