According to him, this move has pushed the altcoin to reach the descending trendline and was now consolidating.
This upswing left the immediate support around $0.377 and $0.348, which could hold to maintain a bullish momentum.
As long as POL holds this level, it could strengthen the altcoin to break out of the descending trendline. A breakout from this level will serve as a clear indication that Wave 5 is developing.
