Daily chart for MATIC/USDT (Source: TradingView)
MATIC’s price had plummeted below the key support level at $0.7183 in the past 24 hours to test the next crucial support level at $0.5845 as well. It had dropped below this mark but was able to close yesterday’s trading session back above the key price point.
At press time, the altcoin’s price was trading slightly above the $0.5845 support and remained at risk of dropping below the level in the next 24-48 hours. Technical indicators on MATIC’s daily chart supported the bearish thesis.
The 9-day EMA was positioned below the 20-day EMA. Furthermore, the daily RSI line was in extreme oversold territory, which indicated that there was an overwhelming amount of sell pressure still present on MATIC’s chart.
Should these technical flags be validated in the next 24 hours, the crypto’s price will flip the aforementioned $0.5845 support level into resistance. On the other hand, if MATIC’s price is able to remain above this point for the next 48 hours, then bulls might identify a buy opportunity for the altcoin.
This will then see MATIC’s price rise to $0.7183 and potentially reclaim a position above the recently-breached level. Should this happen, the crypto will then have a relatively clear path to climb to the next major resistance level at $0.8159.
Investors and traders may want to wait for the daily RSI line to cross bullishly above the daily RSI SMA line before entering into a long position for the crypto. This will serve as a confirmation of the bullish thesis.
