Polygon Price Eyes $0.105 as sPOL Unlocks $330M Liquidity

Polygon POL4.25% is emerging as the standout performer in the Layer 2 space, leveraging a successful post-hardfork environment and the official launch of native liquid staking. While the broader market navigates a period of cautious consolidation, Polygon’s 6.5% weekly surge highlights a growing institutional appetite for the network’s “Gigagas” roadmap.

With the successful activation of the Giugliano hardfork and a dominant 22.1% share of the global stablecoin market, the project is rapidly proving that its transition to the POL ticker was the catalyst needed to unlock the next phase of its growth cycle.

The ‘sPOL’ Spark: Unlocking $330 Million in Staked Capital

On April 15, Polygon officially launched sPOL, the network’s native liquid staking token. The launch has effectively unlocked approximately $330 million in previously illiquid staked capital, allowing users to maintain network security while simultaneously using their assets as collateral across the DeFi ecosystem. The 1:1 liquid wrapper addresses the “idle capital” problem that has historically weighed on the token’s utility.

Complementing this liquidity boost is the news that Stripe has selected Polygon as the settlement layer for its new autonomous AI agent payments protocol. By facilitating sub-cent transaction costs for AI-to-AI commerce, Polygon is securing a “first-mover” advantage in the emerging agent economy. These developments, supported by rumors of a fresh $100 million payments funding round, are providing the fundamental tailwinds needed to maintain a $957 million market capitalization.

Polygon Price in a Support Grind

Following a localized bottom on April 16, the Polygon price established a robust green ascending support trendline. The support trendline has caught every minor intraday pullback, reflecting consistent accumulation from “smart money” buyers who are fading the recent monthly 7% drawdown.

The visual data highlights a formidable “pink zone” of resistance between $0.0908 and $0.0910. This area represents a major supply ceiling where the bulls were rejected earlier today. The price is currently trading at $0.09009, hovering near the apex of a localized symmetrical wedge. For a confirmed macro trend reversal, the asset needs to print a high-volume close above the $0.0910 mark, which would signal that the sellers have finally exhausted their inventory.

On the lower timeframes, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently trending near 52, placing it in perfectly neutral territory. This confirms that the recent rally has not yet reached an overbought state, leaving ample “fuel” for a test of the overhead resistance.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is showing a tightening alignment with the signal line, reflecting the current consolidation phase. A bullish crossover here, accompanied by a spike in the $64 million 24-hour volume, would be the final signal for a volatility expansion.

The launch of sPOL has already seen a notable uptick in on-chain activity, with the Value Area shifting higher as users rotate illiquid stakes into active DeFi positions.

The next major target for the Polygon price is the $0.0980 supply zone if $POL can successfully break and hold above the $0.0910 resistance on high volume. According to our price analysis, a reclaim of this level would effectively erase the monthly slide and signal a move toward the $0.1050 psychological milestone as the sPOL liquidity begins to circulate through the ecosystem.

Conversely, if the green ascending support line near $0.0890 fails to hold under selling pressure, a quick slide toward the $0.0860 structural floor is likely. Our price forecast suggests a breakdown below this level would be technically damaging, potentially extending the 7% monthly correction toward the $0.0820 liquidity pool.
