• Whales control 74.79% of MATIC total supply. 

Polygon [MATIC] has experienced a sharp dip in profitability, with only 2% of its holders currently in profit, according to data from IntoTheBlock. This is the lowest percentage recorded, indicating that a majority of the investors are holding at a loss until market conditions stabilize.

The current MATIC price range between $0.36 and $0.40 has trapped many holders in a hard spot. The price levels have seen around 7 billion tokens held by 8.83K addresses, further explaining the pull-and-tug faced by most holders.

Whale dominance in play

Concentration of tokens held by whales usually stands out among the key sentiments affecting the MATIC market dynamics. The distribution of Polygon ownership structure indicates that big market players hold 74.79% of the total supply. 

Normally, highly concentrated whale ownership results in wild price swings, which makes the market quite unpredictable for the smaller retail investor.

This whale’s dominance suggests short-term volatility in the market, given that their large supply can sometimes move the market with just a few of their trades.

For retail traders, this high concentration will raise red flags over liquidity and potential wild price swings.

This suggests that the prices may range in this region for sometime before a significant movement.
