BTC rebounded strongly from $25k and reclaimed $31k amidst ETF-induced hype from institutional players. It rallied over 20% during the hype (15 &#8211; 21 June).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The BTC upswing saw OP hike over 40%, reversing all losses from early June. But MATIC only gained about 20% and hit $0.67, way below its $0.90 before US SEC labelled it security. So, OP outperformed BTC and MATIC during the recovery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In July, BTC fluctuated between $29.5k and $31.5k after ETF hype dissipated. So, OP entered a brief range formation before mounting above the June high ($1.55) after Ripple Labs&#8217; legal win. Further upside was only blocked by the D1 bearish order block (OB) of $1.63 &#8211; $1.88 (red).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ripple Labs\u2019 win also boosted MATIC. It soared closer to $0.90 (June high). But both tokens faced price rejection after BTC\u2019s sharp drop towards its range-low of $29.5k in the past few days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Polygon vs Optimism: Q3 outlook<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A likely hawkish stance could exert a little bearish pressure during next week&#8217;s (25\/26 July) FOMC meeting. MATIC could play defense on the $0.757, a December low aligned with a recently invalidated bearish OB.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For OP, bulls will focus on $1.37, slightly above the H12 bullish OB of $1.4 &#8211; $1.5 (cyan). OP thus has a firm bullish stronghold it could rebound from.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, both tokens must clear crucial overhead roadblocks (bearish OBs) to reclaim key psychological levels of $1 (MATIC) and $2 (OP) to show extra bullish intent in Q3.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Sell vs buy pressure<\/h4>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_329331\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-329331\" style=\"width: 3840px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Polygon-on-Ethereum-MATIC-10.09.21-21-Jul-2023.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-329331 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Polygon-on-Ethereum-MATIC-10.09.21-21-Jul-2023.png\" alt=\"Polygon [MATIC] Price Prediction\" width=\"3840\" height=\"1300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Polygon-on-Ethereum-MATIC-10.09.21-21-Jul-2023.png 2560w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Polygon-on-Ethereum-MATIC-10.09.21-21-Jul-2023-300x102.png 300w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Polygon-on-Ethereum-MATIC-10.09.21-21-Jul-2023-1024x347.png 1024w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Polygon-on-Ethereum-MATIC-10.09.21-21-Jul-2023-768x260.png 768w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Polygon-on-Ethereum-MATIC-10.09.21-21-Jul-2023-1536x520.png 1536w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Polygon-on-Ethereum-MATIC-10.09.21-21-Jul-2023-2048x693.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3840px) 100vw, 3840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-329331\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Santiment<\/figcaption><\/figure><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on Santiment\u2019s 90-day Mean Coin Age metric, we can infer that OP has more potential upside than MATIC at the time of writing.
