A recent bearish inclination towards MATIC and the potential formation of new lows was invalidated after Bitcoin’s [BTC] sharp recovery. 

BTC’s move above $30k saw MATIC rally +15%, jumping from the range-low of $0.50 to a sticky overhead hurdle of $0.58. Will the pullback at press time provide buyers a chance for market re-entry? 

Can the pullback benefit bulls?

Since September, the sticky roadblock and H12 bearish order block of $0.571 – $0.588 (red) prevent MATIC from extra value appreciation. A fake move in early October near $0.60 was quickly reverted, dropping the altcoin to the previous range-high ($0.545) and range-low ($0.50). 

The pullback could ease at the confluence of a breaker block and range high at $0.545. If so, a likely rebound could lead to a potential 4.8% gain if MATIC retests the overhead hurdle at $0.58. Such a move could make the range-high a great buying opportunity. 

A crack below the range-high will invalidate the bullish bias and force bulls to attempt another re-entry at the range-low ($0.50). 

Meanwhile, the RSI was in the overbought zone but exhibited a retreat. It meant that buying pressure eased in the past few hours before press time. Similarly, demand dropped slightly, as shown by the downtick on the OBV. 

Massive buying interest existed below $0.56

How much are 1,10,100 MATICs worth today? 

According to the order book analysis platform Mobchart, there were considerable buy limit orders at $0.55, $0.54, $0.52, and $0.50. The increased buying interest could ease further pullback. 

On the sell side, $0.60 had massive sell limit orders. It could make a move beyond $0.60 challenging in the short term. It could act as an ideal take-profit in case of a rebound from the previous range-high. But a drop below the range-high ($0.54) will invalidate the long set-up.
