Decoding the how and why of MATIC’s unprecedented hike

ambcrypto.com:

The broader market is reeling under significant sell pressure. However, MATIC’s bulls have successfully been able to bring impressive demand to its network. On 23 June, MATIC, out of all the top 20 coins, registered the most gains over the last 24 hours.

It saw a spike of 24.33% while its seven-day valuation rose by 30.02%.

After hitting a bottom of $0.3178 on 18 June, the altcoin saw buyers recognizing its price value. Consequently, bulls entered the picture to take the crypto up to $0.5055 at press time. Even though MATIC has been forming green candles post 18 June, its current rally is not backed by enough volume.

Nonetheless, if bulls exert more pressure, MATIC might go up high to test its near-term resistance at $0.5735. Upon breaching it, MATIC will enter its supply zone. Only a rally supported by massive volumes can help the alt reach its 44-day long resistance at $0.7402.

The RSI, at press time, stood at 48.51, and was looking north. The MACD lay above its neutral line. This goes to show that traders can definitely expect some positive momentum before MATIC starts retracing back.

In a recent blog post, the Polygon network disclosed that it took the first step towards becoming carbon negative with the retirement of $400,000 in carbon credits representing 104,794 tonnes of greenhouse gasses, ‘or the entirety of the network’s CO2 debt since inception.’

As it were, the company’s step toward its first sustainability milestone strengthened investors’ faith in its ecosystem.

Furthermore, on-chain data provider Santiment revealed that MATIC’s sharks and whales have been showing renewed interest in the token. There has been a big accumulation trend forming for about six weeks.
