MATIC price eyes a higher high
MATIC price sliced through the $0.956 resistance level but retraced back to it, where it currently trades. While an upswing from this barrier is likely, investors should note that a slight increase in selling pressure could push Polygon below this barrier. If this were to happen, MATIC price could slide 14% to tag the $0.855 support level.
Investors can expect a resurgence of buying pressure around this level, pushing Polygon to slice through $0.956.
This move will indicate the increase in bullish momentum and the chances of a climb higher. If the buying pressure continues to persist, it could propel Polygon to $1.235. Clearing this barrier will open up a path of least resistance up to $1.727.
Such an ascent would constitute a 100% upswing from $0.855.
