  • MATIC was bullish until recently when the mid-range value was flipped to resistance
  • Will the price fall to the range lows, or would this dip turn out to be a deviation?

Polygon had a bullish outlook on the charts last week after it climbed past a crucial level of resistance at $0.88. However, this bullish momentum could not last very long. MATIC broke its bullish market structure in the past few days, and was likely to fall further down the charts.

Market structure flips bearish yet again after bears force MATIC below $0.88

MATIC continued to trade within the range it established in July. This range extended from $0.72 to $1.02, with the mid-range at $0.88. This level acted as support and resistance on multiple occasions, and reinforced the credibility of the range.

In the past week, MATIC managed to scale the $0.88 level and flip it to support. In doing so it also formed a lower timeframe (four-hour) bullish order block. This area was expected to serve as a strong support zone but the past couple days of trading saw MATIC bears seize the upper hand.

They were able to force a 12-hour session close below $0.88. In doing so the price broke through the bullish order block, and flipped the market structure to bearish as well.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) slipped back below neutral 50 to show momentum began to favor the sellers once more. The On-Balance Volume (OBV) stayed relatively flat in recent months, which highlighted the likelihood of a continuation of the range.

To the south, the range lows at $0.72 and $0.79 levels could see a bullish reaction in the next week or two.

The network growth metric climbed in October and set a series of higher lows. This was evidence of new addresses being created on the network each day and showed growing user adoption.

Furthermore, the development activity metric saw a decline in recent weeks, but over the past three months it has seen peaks and troughs. Once again, this highlighted a positive aspect of MATIC and longer-term investors will have one less worry based on this metric.

Bitcoin sat atop a crucial support near the $20k area, and the FOMC news over the course of the day can see huge volatility. Risk averse traders can wait out the storm.
