MATIC price prediction: Polygon flashes bearish chart pattern projecting 32% decline [Video]

• MATIC price could be headed for a 32% fall after a bearish chart pattern emerged.
• If Polygon slices below $2.34, it could spell trouble for the bulls.
• The bears target $1.64 next but lower prices are not expected. 

MATIC price is at the cliff of a 32% descent as Polygon is nearing a critical support line. The prevailing chart pattern suggests that the bears are planning a significant sell-off toward $1.64 if the layer-2 token slices below $2.34.

MATIC bears prepare for slide toward $1.64

MATIC price has formed a rising wedge pattern on the 12-hour chart, suggesting a bearish outlook for the token. The governing technical pattern projects a 32% nosedive toward $1.64 if Polygon breaks below the lower boundary of the prevailing chart pattern at $2.34.

The first line of defense for MATIC price will appear at the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at $2.37, coinciding with the 50 twelve-hour Simple Moving Average (SMA). 

Before the bears reach the pessimistic target given by the prevailing chart pattern at $1.64, additional support will emerge at the 50% retracement level at $2.20, then at the 100 twelve-hour SMA at $2.11. 

Further footholds may appear at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $2.02, then at the 200 twelve-hour SMA at $1.83. The last line of defense for MATIC price will be uncovered at the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $1.77 before the sellers tag the bearish target at $1.64, coinciding with the support line given by the Momentum Reversal Indicator (MRI).

However, if the bulls manage to turn the narrative around, the first line of resistance will emerge at the 21 twelve-hour SMA at $2.59, which intersects with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level. 

Additional resistance will appear at the December 31 high at $2.66, before Polygon bulls attempt to challenge the record high at $2.93.
