MATIC Price Prediction: Polygon is primed for a 12% upswing

  • MATIC price broke out of a descending parallel channel on the 1-hour chart.
  • The digital asset targets $0.44 in the near future after holding key support level.
  • Bears must push MATIC below $0.38 to invalidate the bullish outlook.

MATIC price had a major 23% breakout in the past 24 hours from a key pattern targeting higher highs at $0.44. There seems to be weak resistance ahead for Polygon as bulls have conquered several key resistance points.

MATIC price eying up $0.44 with no resistance ahead

On the 1-hour chart, MATIC price had a significant breakout from a descending parallel channel with a target of $0.44. Additionally, Polygon also climbed above the 50-SMA and the 100-SMA, adding credence to the breakout.

On the other hand, if bears want to invalidate the bullish outlook, they will need to push MATIC price below $0.385, reclaiming the 100-SMA and the 50-SMA levels. This would drive Polygon down to $0.35 in the short-term and as low as $0.315.
