Why is Polygon Price Going Up? Rebel Satoshi Brings Fresh Meme Coin Vision

Polygon’s MATIC token has seen renewed momentum this past week, with a decent price pump, building on-chain activity and ecosystem growth. MATIC now faces a key test at the next resistance level that could trigger an influx of additional bullish momentum if broken. 

Meanwhile, a new emerging meme coin called Rebel Satoshi offers an alternative opportunity through its ongoing presale.

MATIC Price Faces Critical Test at $1 Resistance

Polygon (MATIC) has seen a notable price increase over the past week, trading around $0.87 at press time which marks a 10% gain. The current market cap stands at approximately $8.7 billion. According to an analysis by altFINS, MATIC has been range-bound between $0.75 and $1 since mid-November last year.

Trends are mixed for MATIC currently. Price is trading sideways between $0.75 and $1. For trend traders, waiting for a clear breakout above the $1 resistance could open the path for MATIC to revisit $1.25. 

Swing traders can take advantage of the channel, entering long positions near channel support at $0.70-$0.75 and taking profits near resistance around $1 for potential gains of 35%. A stop loss around $0.67, just below the prior swing low and 200-day moving average at $0.71, can help manage downside risk.

This sideways price action represents a period of indecision in the market. Typically channels like this eventually break out in the direction of the broader trend, which for MATIC remains up. Therefore, a breakout above $1 could signal bullish continuation.

Driving recent price strength is accelerating usage growth on the Polygon network. As per an analysis by AMBCrypto, Polygon processed 3.41 million transactions on February 10th, ranking only behind Solana in daily transactions. Polygon’s average daily transaction count has held consistently above 3.5 million since the start of February.

As noted by FieryTrading on TradingView, MATIC has traded constructively alongside Bitcoin’s push back above $50k. Historically, strong moves in Bitcoin often precede altcoin rallies. With Bitcoin appearing poised to make a run towards $60k after breaking crucial $50k resistance yesterday, FieryTrading suggests MATIC could make an attempt back towards the key $1 level. 

From a technical perspective, MATIC shows bullish signs across timeframes. The RSI oscillator reads between 50 and 60, indicating room for additional upside. Additionally, the MACD indicator shows bullish alignment with the MACD line holding above the signal line.

Beyond positive price action, MATIC stands to benefit from Polygon’s continuous ecosystem expansions. Most recently, 217 million MATIC tokens were distributed to spur additional protocol development. There has also been a proposal introduced to transition the network’s native asset to a new token, POL, intended to serve as the primary coordination mechanism as Polygon evolves.

Furthermore, adoption of Polygon’s zero-knowledge compatibility layer continues gaining steam. Numerous prominent blockchain protocols including Celestia, OKX Chain, and NEAR have launched layer 2 solutions powered by Polygon’s CDK. These developments showcase Polygon’s ascendant status as a preferred platform for delivering highly scalable and interoperable blockchain solutions.

Rebel Satoshi – A New Meme Coin in the block

Rebel Satoshi (RBLZ) is an emerging meme coin project aiming to build a multi-faceted ecosystem centered around themes of rebellion, decentralization, and community. The core components plan to include an interactive P2E game, staking programs, and an NFT marketplace for trading collectibles from the Rebel NFT Vault.

RBLZ has a capped supply of 250 million coins with a built-in deflationary burning mechanism to prevent inflationary pressures. This contrasts with many meme coins having unlimited supplies. Rebel Satoshi has seen significant financial contribution over its multi-stage presale thus far ($2 million raised), indicating backing and interest from the crypto community in its early developmental phases.

The presale remains ongoing, currently in Round 5 with over 120 million RBLZ tokens sold. RBLZ can be purchased at the discounted presale price of $0.024. Listing price is set at $0.025, meaning presale participants stand to gain a minimum 4% ROI.

Beyond tokenomics, Rebel Satoshi differentiates itself through strong branding and ambition to foster an ecosystem beyond speculative trading. The rebellion theme aims to capture the defiant spirits of legendary figures like Guy Fawkes and Satoshi Nakamoto in a uniquely styled meme coin. Ongoing marketing initiatives including advertising across major crypto publications also showcase commitment to expanding awareness.

Most recently, the Rebel Satoshi team teased upcoming big news coming on February 29th on X (formerly Twitter).
