The current state of MATIC and Polygon\u2019s crypto ecosystem ranks among the worst. It took a toll on In the wake of FTX\u2019s demise, the industry-wide contagion has impacted<\/a> other projects, Polygon among them.<\/p>\n

Given that Polygon is an L2 for Ethereum, it is not surprising that MATIC and ETH have strong connections. Currently, the correlation coefficient between the two is 0.75. This indicates that the price movements of the two strongly correlate with one another.<\/p>\n

Investors and traders should monitor this signal, as any significant price change in ETH could aid Polygon\u2019s comeback. Overall, though, investors and traders should anticipate MATIC to surpass $0.851<\/p>\n

Bulls should seek support at $0.772.<\/p>\n

Bearish Breakout Expected\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Similar to what was stated previously, MATIC\u2019s strong correlation with ETH can be a significant challenge for support but a significant boost for an uptrend.<\/p>\n

Despite Polygon\u2019s social dominance, the loss of market confidence will surely cause the price of MATIC to decline.<\/p>\n

A short position at or below the current market price will mitigate the bearish market action. With the Bollinger band indicating a significant MATIC price decline, we can anticipate a bearish breakout in the next days.<\/p>\n

As that day approaches, MATIC bulls can only pray for a miracle in order for a recovery to occur.<\/p>\n\n
