The crypto market is beginning to show signs of recovery, with Bitcoin (BTC) bouncing back from this week’s low of $76K to its current level around $84K. After facing a steep correction since the highs of late 2024, altcoins like Internet Computer (ICP) and Polygon (POL) have been under pressure, recording significant losses over the past three months.

However, as the broader market starts to stabilize, both tokens are regaining momentum. They’re now climbing toward key resistance levels within their respective falling wedge patterns — a technical formation often seen as a bullish reversal indicator. If a breakout takes place, it could mark the early stages of a wider recovery across the altcoin market.

Internet Computer (ICP) Analysis

It’s been a rough ride for ICP. After hitting a high of $15.59 in early December, the token plunged more than 65%, finding a bottom at $4.84 on March 11. But that low seems to have triggered a bounce.

ICP is now trading around $5.79 and is steadily approaching the upper resistance line of its falling wedge pattern on the daily chart. A breakout above this trendline — especially if confirmed with a retest — could set the stage for a move toward the $7.46 zone, which also lines up with the 50-day moving average (MA).

If bullish momentum continues to build, the next major target could be around $9.74, near the 100-day MA — representing a potential 67% upside from current levels.

Polygon (POL) Analysis

POL has followed a similarly painful path. After peaking at $0.76 in December, it tumbled over 75% and found support at $0.166 on March 11, where buyers finally stepped in.

The token has since climbed back to around $0.2175, edging closer to the upper resistance of its falling wedge formation. A breakout here — validated by a healthy retest — could pave the way for a push toward the $0.33 resistance zone, which also coincides with its 50-day MA.

Should bulls continue to step in, POL could aim for the next major level at $0.42, near the 100-day MA. That would represent a possible 93% surge from its current price.

Could a Breakout Trigger a Recovery?

Both ICP and POL are at make-or-break levels. Falling wedge patterns are known as bullish reversal setups — but they require confirmation through strong breakout volume and follow-through price action.

If both tokens manage to push past their wedge resistances, it could spark fresh optimism in the altcoin space. But broader market conditions — including Ethereum’s performance and macroeconomic sentiment — will play a major role in determining whether any breakout leads to a sustained recovery or just another short-lived bounce.

After Toshiba reported news of HDD production expansion, Morgan Stanley turned more bullish rather than bearish.

Morgan Stanley’s research indicates that the market has seriously overestimated Toshiba’s expansion scale — the doubling of capacity at its Philippines plant over two years translates to an annualized growth rate of about 30%, which is similar to the overall industry supply growth rate and far lower than demand growth. More importantly, channel checks show that Seagate and Western Digital have no intention of following suit with capacity expansion, and there are no signs of loosening in industry pricing.

Energy & Utilities Roundup: Market Talk

The latest Market Talks covering Energy and Utilities. Published exclusively on Dow Jones Newswires at 4:20 ET, 12:20 ET and 16:50 ET. 0637 GMT - SK Innovation is likely to benefit from higher lubricant base oil prices, LS Securities analyst K.H. Chung says. The South Korean refiner is a global leader in premium lubricant base oils, producing about 80,000 barrels of Group III base oils a day, Chung writes in a note. She expects the supply shortage of lubricant base oils to persist for more than a year. Tight supply of kerosene and diesel and wider refining margins could also continue to boost the company's earnings, she adds. LS Securities upgrades the stock to buy from hold and raises its target price to 187,000 won from 126,000 won. Shares end 2.6% higher at 158,000 won. (kwanwoo.jun@wsj.com) 0113 GMT - YTL Power International could see upside from its expanding data-center and AI infrastructure, as well as renewed power-generation opportunities, says Hong Leong IB analyst Daniel Wong in a note. Its Kulai and Sedenak West hubs offer 2.4GW of potential data-center capacity, while its AI-GPU capacity could scale to 100MW or more and support a new services business. The procurement of seven gas turbines totaling 5.25GW also positions YTL for power-generation growth and supports its expanding data-center pipeline, he reckons. Higher water tariffs and planned treatment plants at its unit Ranhill Utilities should support earnings as Johor's water demand rises, he adds. Hong Leong raises its target price to 8.08 ringgit from 7.58 ringgit and keeps a buy rating. Shares are 1.4% higher at 5.62 ringgit.
