Traders and investors holding on to Polygon [MATIC] may have spotted a 10% uptick in price over the last 24 hours. In doing so, they may have assumed that a bullish run was underway. Unfortunately, they would be wrong.
With an index price of $0.3637, the crypto has dropped back to its April 2021 levels. With the MACD poised for a bearish run, the three month-long decline in price might be far from over.

Struggling to keep the bears at bay, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Money Flow Index (MFI) have been stationed below 50 for three months. Within that period, the RSI went as low as 22 on 12 May. The MFI also touched a low of 13 on 11 April. At press time, the RSI and MFI were deeply oversold at 31 and 18, respectively.
While the latest uptick in the price of MATIC might give investors a false sense of recovery, it is trite to point out that recovery is still far from sight. Looking at the 50 EMA showed the EMA line resting comfortably above the price.
This is indicative of a bearish bias. Also, implying a renewed bear run, the MACD line on 12 June intersected the trendline in a downward curve.
