- MATIC continues to face pressure against key resistance zones.
- Upside momentum paused as bulls and bears await a clear direction.
- Downside movement is the most likely direction.
MATIC price action has consolidated over the past three days. Further upside movement has been rejected against the Tenkan-Sen within the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo system. However, long and short opportunities now exist.
MATIC price remains bearish, but upside potential is very likely
MATIC price remains in a strong downtrend. Polygon is below the Ichimoku Cloud on the weekly and daily charts within the Ichimoku Hyo System. However, last week's sell-off put Polygon into major oversold conditions on various time frames, hinting that mean reversion or a broad trend reversal could likely occur. As a result, two trade setups have developed for bulls and bears.
There is a theoretical short entry opportunity on the short side of the market with a sell stop order at $0.66, a stop-loss order at $0.69, and a profit target at $0.54. The setup is based on a breakout below a symmetrical triangle. The setup represents a 4:1 reward for the risk. However, the 2021 Volume Profile is exceptionally thin between $0.70 and $0.50, so a flash crash down to $0.50 is possible.
MATIC/USDT $0.02/3-box Reversal Point and Figure Chart
A two to three-box trailing stop would help protect against any whipsaws in price action made post entry. The theoretical short idea is invalidated if MATIC price moves to $0.75 before the short entry is triggered.
There is a hypothetical long setup on the long side of the market with a buy stop order at $0.78, a stop loss at $0.70, and a profit target at $1.04. The setup represents a 3.25:1 reward for the risk.

The profit target in long setup is one that may have difficulty reaching its profit target. Bulls should expect resistance near the high volume node at $0.84 and the Kijun-Sen at $0.90.
The long idea is invalidated if MATIC price falls to $0.60 before triggering.
