MATIC/USD daily chart
Even with the 200-day SMA looking strong, expect a quick blip to the monthly S1 support level near $1.25 and the pivotal historical level at $1.20. These two levels will be the entry point most bulls will have in their books as trigger points to go long. At those levels, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) will be in oversold territory, which should signal to bears that further downside momentum is likely to be muted and see them booking profits. They will need bulls to take the other side of the trade and provide liquidity to do so.
