This bullish rebound will be the first retest of the $0.7414 level after the price broke below the level on 9 June. Can bulls flip the level and push on for more gains?
Bullish momentum rising slowly
Due to its bearish market structure, MATIC’s recovery has been met with stiff resistance. However, bulls have made considerable progress.
Since the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator posted a bullish crossover on 16 June, MATIC has been on an uptrend. The Relative Strength Indicator (RSI) also climbed out of the oversold zone and stood at 65, as of press time. This highlighted the growing buying pressure for MATIC.
Bulls need to break the local low at the $0.7414 resistance level to register significant gains. A break and retest of this level could offer buying opportunities to $0.8355 and $0.9504.
On the flip side, a price rejection at the $0.7414 level could increase the selling pressure and see MATIC sink to $0.6000 or $0.5500
