Bearish momentum suppresses bullish rally

MATIC’s descent to the July 2022 level of $0.5274 marked a year-low for the altcoin. Sellers took advantage of the strong bearish pressure since mid-April and the uncertainty around MATIC to inflict massive losses.

Despite MATIC rebounding from $0.5274 to $0.6500 between 10 June and 13 June, the selling pressure has hampered a sustained bullish rally.

The RSI remained under neutral 50 and the OBV declined by 96 million over the past two days. Both indicators highlighted the significant bearish sentiment in the market.

With MATIC trading at $0.5988, a retest of the $0.5274 support level could see more aggressive selling, pushing MATIC toward the $0.5000 price zone. Conversely, an uptick in volume could trigger a bullish pullback with $0.6500 – $0.7000 serving as targets for bulls.

A look at the Open Interest (OI) from Coinalyze on the four-hour timeframe showed a huge decline on 10 June. It experienced a slight uptick on 16 June before declining again. It showed the hesitation by market speculators to open new positions until clarity emerged over regulatory concerns.

Similarly, the Spot CVD, which tracks trading volumes over time, maintained a steep decline. This hinted that the selling volume far outweighed the buying one, highlighting the lack of demand for MATIC in the futures market.
