Polygon (MATIC) has witnessed a strong rally last week, when it surged to $2.25 from $1.78 over a span of just 48-hours. The asset has a market capitalization of $14.8 billion and is ranked 15th.
Polygon seems to be holding on to the upward trend quite strongly, and the inflows that the asset has seen off late supports this claim. Ultimately, Polygon aims to solve the scalability issues on the Ethereum network, which has suffered from congestion and high fees.
ET CONTRIBUTORSMatic witnessed a sharp correction in May this year after making the life high of $2.82 and the prices dropped to $0.6221. Post this move, the asset is in a recovery mode and the prices surged almost by 250% making the high of $2.22 in October.
Technically, on the daily time frame, Matic has formed a broad ‘Symmetrical Triangle’ pattern where the rising sloping line acts as support and the upper sloping line acts as resistance. The asset has given a breakout on the upside but it is struggling to sustain above its previous high of $2.22. Hence, to further rally, Matic needs to trade and close above $2.22.
Major Levels
Support: $1.8, $1.4
Resistance: $2.22, $2.82
