Polygon: New Partnership With Korean Telecom Giant Fails To Halt MATIC Slide

The Polygon (MATIC) price continues to fall. Even the recent positive news from Korea and the strong data from the NFT market cannot change this. Since the yearly high on February 13 at $1.56, the MATIC price has currently fallen 60% and is trading at just $0.6169. Since the high, MATIC has been in a clear downtrend, which was last tested in mid-July. However, a breakout was not successful, both the trendline and the coinciding 200-day EMA have proven to be too strong a resistance. Now MATIC has also fallen below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.75. If the support at $0.60 (in shorter time frames) now also falls, a plunge towards the yearly low at $0.50 could be imminent. However, if the level establishes itself as support in the next few days, a new attempt to break out of the downtrend could start. Related Reading: When Will Polygon (MATIC) Rebound? Analyzing This Month’s Recovery Potential For this, MATIC would currently have to rise above $0.71. However, validation of the breakout from the downtrend would have to come from the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level. Only if MATIC rises above $0.75 the bulls might regain the upper hand. Then, the 200-day EMA at $0.84 would be the next major task that MATIC bulls have to master. Until then, MATIC seems poised for further downside. Even Positive News Can’t Move Polygon Price It is a bad omen for the MATIC bulls that even positive news cannot move the price. In the last two days Polygon has been able to report no less than two positive news. Today, Polygon Labs has inked a strategic alliance with SK Telecom (NYSE:SKM), South Korea’s foremost mobile telecom operator. This collaboration is geared towards the expansion of SKT’s Web3 ecosystem, positioning the telecom behemoth at the forefront of the burgeoning decentralized tech sector. Polygon’s CEO, Marc Boiron, elucidated the intent behind the partnership, stating, “Polygon Labs has been developing optimal blockchain technology for Web3 popularization, and we see this collaboration with SKT as an important step in providing Web3 experiences to more consumers.” Central to this synergy is the integration of the Polygon blockchain within SKT’s NFT marketplace, TopPort, as well as its forthcoming Web3 wallet, set for launch in 2023. The wallet promises to offer users high-speed, cost-effective transactions, augmented by Ethereum’s intrinsic security and decentralization features. Given the widespread utilization of Polygon-based solutions by global brands, this integration is likely to enhance SKT’s Web3 offerings considerably. Related Reading: Polygon Warning Signs Point To Slide In MATIC Price On Support Breakdown Both entities will be actively scouring for promising Web3 startups to nurture and support. “By combining our experience in blockchain services and Polygon Lab’s blockchain infrastructure and ecosystem, we will be able to create valuable business opportunities and boost the Web3 ecosystem,” voiced Oh Se-hyun, Vice President and Head of Web3 CO at SKT. Moreover, Polygon’s NFT ecosystem clinched the second spot in traded volume over a month-long period, as highlighted by Polygon Labs founder Sandeep Nailwal. Interestingly, this surge can be attributed not just to high-value transactions but a flurry of micro-transactions, indicating Polygon’s accessibility and widespread use. By number of transactions, Polygon is 3x of Ethereum mainchain, that means there is a lot of micro transactions happening. The amount of “buyers” on Polygon also is 30% higher than the mainchain. This trend clearly solidifies Polygon’s burgeoning position in the decentralized tech sector. Featured image from ZipMex, chart from TradingView.com

Will EigenLayer raise the restaking limits on 22 Aug, or only 10 days later?

Cardano Holder Resilience Tested As ADA Fends Off Bearish Onslaught

Cardano is currently facing a stark contrast between its promising development trajectory and the significant losses incurred by ADA holders.  Recent price analysis has revealed that the losses are nearing an astonishing 90%, sending waves of concern through the cryptocurrency community. The once-active addresses have dwindled, further accentuating the unease surrounding ADA’s price trend.

Source: Coingecko Navigating ADA’s Future As Cardano’s development trajectory continues to impress with its forward-looking innovations, the prevailing challenges in ADA’s price trend and holder losses should not be underestimated. The decline in active addresses further compounds the existing worries, potentially signaling shifts in user engagement and interest. ADA hits a market cap of $9.6 billion today. Chart: TradingView.com While the undercollateralized loan approach holds promise for the ecosystem’s future, addressing the concerns surrounding ADA’s price and holder losses remains a pressing task. Cardano’s journey as a trailblazer in the blockchain realm is accompanied by a complex tale of contrasting fortunes. The remarkable innovations it introduces stand as a testament to its commitment to reshaping the industry.  However, the substantial losses incurred by ADA holders and the wavering price trend underscore the importance of addressing market dynamics, sentiment, and user engagement to ensure the longevity and stability of Cardano’s ecosystem.
