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.

First U.S. XRP ETF Launches Sept. 18, CME to List Options on XRP Futures Oct. 13

First U.S. XRP ETF Launches Sept. 18, CME to List Options on XRP Futures Oct. 13

XRP is drawing fresh attention from traditional finance as new products roll out in both securities and derivatives markets, broadening access points for exposure to the token.At the time of writing, according to CoinDesk Data, XRP was trading around $3.0263, down nearly 1% over the past 24 hours.On Sept. 18, REX Shares and Osprey Funds will debut the first U.S.-listed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tied to XRP and Dogecoin (DOGE) on the Cboe BZX Exchange, under the tickers XRPR and DOJE. These products are not entirely “pure” spot funds, however. Bloomberg Intelligence analyst James Seyffart wrote on X that the funds aren’t “pure” spot products. Instead, they are structured to hold XRP and DOGE directly, while also investing in other spot ETFs from outside the U.S. to achieve exposure. Their filings also include language that would allow the use of derivatives for exposure if needed, though Seyffart emphasized that this is not the primary approach.The structure reflects the realities of building regulated crypto ETFs in the U.S., where sponsors have sometimes layered in indirect exposure. Even so, the launches mark the first time American brokerage accounts will have access to XRP- and DOGE-focused ETFs, expanding beyond bitcoin and ether, which dominate the ETF landscape.Less than a month later, CME Group plans to deepen its crypto derivatives lineup by listing options on XRP and Solana (SOL) futures, targeted for Oct. 13 pending regulatory review. Options will be listed on both the standard contracts and their smaller “micro” versions, designed to serve institutions, trading desks, and active individuals alike. Expiry choices will include every business day, each month, and each quarter, creating a wider term structure for managing exposures.The exchange said the decision follows strong growth in its newer altcoin futures. Since March, SOL futures have logged over 540,000 contracts traded (about $22.3 billion notional), while XRP futures, introduced in May, have seen more than 370,000 contracts change hands (roughly $16.2 billion notional). Market participants including Cumberland and FalconX welcomed the additions, citing the need for hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether.Headquartered in Chicago, CME Group runs the world’s largest regulated derivatives marketplace, where listed crypto futures and options allow participants to hedge positions with central clearing and margining. Adding XRP and SOL options builds on the firm’s progression from bitcoin and ether into a wider set of liquid tokens.
