‎The trio of $POL (formerly MATIC), $ALGO and $ROSE represents what many call "The Composed Investor’s Bag." While they haven't seen the explosive 50x runs of AI or DePIN tokens yet, they are currently at a critical valuation pivot.
‎​Here is the breakdown of whether they are "good buys" right now based on the current 2026 market data:
‎​1. POL (Polygon)
‎​Polygon has been the "workhorse" of the industry, but its price has been suppressed due to its transition from MATIC to POL and heavy competition from other Layer 2s like Arbitrum and Base.
‎​The Status: As of Feb 4, 2026, POL is trading around $0.11. It recently hit a multi-year low of roughly $0.098 in late January.
‎​Is it a good buy? It’s a high-conviction "Value Play." Polygon is pivoting toward global payment infrastructure and "AggLayer" technology. If you believe in long-term institutional adoption (like their work with Nike and Starbucks), buying at these "oversold" levels is historically a smart move, but don't expect it to outpace Bitcoin in the next few weeks.
‎​Target: Analysts are eyeing a recovery to $0.25–$0.30 by mid-2026 if the payment pivot gains traction.
‎​2. ALGO (Algorand)
‎​Algorand is often called the "Technical Masterpiece with a Marketing Problem."
‎​The Status: ALGO is currently hovering around $0.12–$0.14. It is showing a "bottoming formation," meaning it has likely stopped falling and is now consolidating.
‎​Is it a good buy? It’s a Speculative Recovery Play. The network is technically superior (zero downtime, instant finality), and in 2026, it is finding a niche in "Real World Assets" (RWA).
‎​The Risk: It needs a massive increase in transaction fees/utility to hit $1 again. It’s a good buy for someone who wants a "safe" Layer 1 that won't disappear, but it requires patience.
‎​Target: Short-term recovery targets sit around $0.19 for the first half of 2026.
‎​3. ROSE (Oasis Network)
‎​ROSE is the "Dark Horse" of this group because it actually fits into the AI narrative we discussed earlier.
‎​The Status: Trading around $0.02. It has strong support at $0.015.
‎​Is it a good buy? Yes, for the AI/Privacy narrative. Oasis’s "ROFL" framework (launched late last year) allows AI agents to compute data privately. As AI agents become the main theme of 2026, ROSE is one of the few coins providing the privacy those agents need.
‎​Target: If it breaks the $0.021 resistance level, it has a clear path toward $0.04, which would be a 100% gain from current levels.
‎The Verdict
‎​If you are looking for a "Safe bet," go with POL. If you want the most upside potential aligned with the 2026 AI trend, ROSE is the strongest candidate. ALGO is best suited for those who believe in the "underdog" of blockchain tech.
