Polygon Pulls Back 10.1% Amid Hard Fork Vulnerability Fixes

Polygon (POL) experienced a sharp 10.1% price pullback due to critical security vulnerabilities being addressed through two hard forks on its proof-of-stake network.

The Austin and Kyoto hard forks impacted both Bor and Heimdall clients, requiring nodes running outdated software to upgrade and rejoin the main chain during a spike in trading activity.

Despite this setback, Polygon's price remains above major moving averages, with underlying momentum displaying mixed signals. The current momentum environment leans positive, indicating potential upside for the cryptocurrency.
