Polygon Forms Long-Term Falling Wedge Near Key Levels

Analyst Crypto Patel highlighted that POL remains in a long-term falling wedge. He indicated that there is strong demand in the range of $0.13 to $0.10, which has been able to hold recent losses. He also noted that the technical structure will hold as long as POL closes above $0.097.

According to Patel, POL is tightening around multi-year lows. He defined the wedge as a growing pattern that usually follows before a reversal. He reported that a confirmed shift will take a prolonged break over $0.17.

Analysts identified the upside target at $0.286, $0.435, $0.704, $1.20, and $2.00 +. He added that the zone provided good risk positioning when the demand remained to support the lower band. He emphasized that a closing price lower than $0.097 nullifies the structure.

Analyst DyorNetCrypto revealed a weak regression trend with a trend score of -33. He noted that POL declines lower than essential moving averages and still causes a Supertrend sell signal. He has pointed out technical weaknesses in recent sessions.

Vitalik Buterin lays out new Ethereum roadmap at EDCON

Vitalik Buterin lays out new Ethereum roadmap at EDCON

The post Vitalik Buterin lays out new Ethereum roadmap at EDCON appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. At EDCON 2025 in Osaka, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin delivered fresh details of Ethereum’s technical roadmap, delineating both short-term scaling goals and longer-term protocol transformations. The immediate priority, according to slides from the presentation, is scaling at the L1 level by raising the gas limit while maintaining decentralization. Tools such as block-level access lists, ZK-EVMs, gas repricing, and slot optimization were highlighted as means to improve throughput and efficiency. A central theme of the presentation was privacy, divided into protections for on-chain “writes” (transactions, voting, DeFi operations) and “reads” (retrieving blockchain state). Write privacy could be achieved through client-side zero-knowledge proofs, encrypted voting, and mixnet-based transaction relays. Read privacy efforts include trusted execution environments, private information retrieval techniques, dummy queries to obscure access patterns, and partial state nodes that reveal only necessary data. These measures aim to reduce information leakage across both ends of user interaction. In the medium term, Ethereum’s focus shifts to cross-Layer-2 interoperability. Vitalik described trustless L2 asset transfers, proof aggregation, and faster settlement mechanisms as key milestones toward a seamless rollup ecosystem. Faster slots and stronger finality, supported by techniques like erasure coding and three-stage finalization (3SF), are also in scope to enhance responsiveness and security. The roadmap also includes Stage 2 rollup advancements to strengthen verification efficiency, alongside a call for broader community participation to help build and maintain these improvements. The long-term “Lean Ethereum” blueprint emphasizes security, simplicity and optimization, with ambitions for quantum-resistant cryptography, formal verification of the protocol, and adoption of ideal primitives for hashing, signatures, and zero-knowledge proofs. Buterin stressed that these improvements are not just for scalability but to make Ethereum a stable, trustworthy foundation for the broader decentralized ecosystem. This is a developing story.
