Polygon in high-profile partnerships
Notably, Meta, the parent company of Instagram, named Polygon as its initial partner for its upcoming nonfungible token (NFT) tools that allow users to mint, showcase and sell their digital collectibles on and off the social media platform.
Meanwhile, banking giant JPMorgan used Polygon to conduct its first live trade (worth about $71,000) on a public blockchain, marking a concrete step toward integrating cryptocurrencies into traditional financial frameworks.
MATIC, a utility and staking token within the Polygon blockchain ecosystem, rose over 13% to $0.985 after the announcements, accompanied by an uptick in daily trading volume.
MATIC’s upside move came as a part of a broader recovery rally across the crypto sector that started in mid-June. MATIC’s price has rebounded by more than 200%, a trend that will likely sustain in the coming months.
On the daily chart, MATIC has painted a cup-and-handle setup, which comprises a U-shaped recovery followed by a downward drifting channel. The token is now eyeing a decisive breakout above the pattern’s neckline range (the red bar in the chart below) to reach $2.89, its primary upside target.
As a rule of technical analysis, a cup-and-handle pattern’s target is measured after adding the distance between the cup’s bottom and neckline to the potential breakout point. As a result, MATIC is now eyeing a 200% price rally by the end of Q1 2023.
Fundamentally, MATIC’s demand could keep growing, given Polygon’s growing NFT projects launched by mainstream companies.
On the other hand, macro risks continue to threaten the ongoing crypto market recovery, which may hurt Polygon despite its growing partnerships with big-name brands. That being said, a strong pullback from the cup-and-handle pattern neckline range could invalidate the bullish setup altogether.
Technical analysis:
I have marked the important zones with numbers and explained them :
1 Agresive Sellers shortened Matic at 2.60. Technically The market had very low bullish volume and huge bearish Deltas .
The market broke the short term support at 1.75 and it became again resistance.
Now the sellers started to build their positions stronger. Long term buyers took partial profits here, new buyers took losses, and sellers sold more here.
The creation of more sell orders finally pulled down the market to the deepst waters0.39145
2 This zone was and is defending strongly by Matic Long holders.
The sellers took some profits here.The long term buyers bought more matic and new buyers came into the market.
Also some late sellers took losses here or took profits.Also some sellers became new buyers. More Buy orders pushed up and pumped matic to 1.40(Defended ell area=Double Resistance)
3 Long move has a double support 0.73 and 0.65 area
The increased volume and delta at this area supports buying positions,but also the volatility .
4 A break above 1.5463 increases more delta bullish and more buyers will support this positin but this time more agressively.
The market has higher highs and higher Lows structure.To build a long term Bullish trend, a break above 1.5460 is essential
5 A break and holding above 1.54680 finally establishes a strong lbullish long term trend
6A break of 1.6590 is catastrophic for the majortiy bulls,but the final support 0.38 could save them.
If this zone has lost, The sellers will control the market for a longer periode, as the resitance numbers make it very hard for bulls to take advantageof the bull trend.

Markets steady ahead of final push on the debt deal
After long weekends in many parts of the world, FX markets are returning to some progress on the US debt ceiling. President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy have reached a two-year deal. That deal will be assessed by the House Rules Committee today and, if approved, will likely go to a vote in the House tomorrow. Both Democrat and Republican leaders feel they have the votes to get the deal through Congress – although at times like these, there may be a few holdout politicians who like their day in the sun.

US Dollar Index: DXY fades recovery below 104.00 on downbeat Fed bets, US inflation eyed
US Dollar Index struggles to extend the previous day’s corrective bounce off three-week low, snaps two-day winning streak.
Markets remain nearly sure of witnessing no rate hike from Fed in June but concerns about July stay dicey.
Bond market moves, challenges to sentiment prod DXY bears ahead of the key US CPI.
Core CPI will be closely observed as high inflation can allow FOMC to remain hawkish despite no rate hike decision.
US Dollar Index (DXY) remains pressured around 103.60 as it fades the previous two-day winning streak on Tuesday as the key US inflation data looms. That said, the greenback’s gauge versus the six major currencies rose in the last two consecutive days amid the market’s positioning for the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) pause to the rate hike trajectory. However, the recently mixed concerns about the US central bank’s future moves join the challenges to the sentiment to prod the DXY buyers ahead of an important data point for the markets.
It’s worth noting that a study from the San Francisco Fed about the correlation between wage growth and inflation could be cited as the reason for the US central bank to remain less hawkish, which in turn weighs on the DXY, apart from the pre-data anxiety. The survey concluded that wage growth has a very small impact on inflation, which in turn raises doubts about the central bankers’ emphasis on wage cost numbers as a source of information to gauge inflation pressure.
Talking about the latest challenges to sentiment, a trade dispute is developing after the US expands its ban on imports from Xinjiang. China vows to protect China firms against any US sanctions, per Reuters. Recently, Bloomberg released prepared remarks of US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s scheduled Testimony in front of the House Financial Services Committee as she said that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (WB) serve as important counterweights to nontransparent, unsustainable lending from others, like China.
Additionally, the increase in the bets favoring the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) 0.25% rate hike in July also prod optimism and put a floor under the US Dollar Index. It should be noted that the CME’s FedWatch Tool suggests nearly limited scope for the US central bank to act on Wednesday’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC).
Looking ahead, the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures for May will be in the spotlight as the Fed decision looms on Wednesday. That said, the market forecasts of witnessing no change in the Core CPI MoM figure of 0.4% gain major attention as softer figures could push back the July rate hike concerns and may not allow the Fed to sound hawkish, which in turn can drown the US Dollar.
