MATIC Hits Two-Year Low Levels

Over the past few months, MATIC has registered a steady decline from its one-year high of $1.27. Since July, the token’s price has retraced 20.5%, falling from the $0.55 support zone to the $0.40 mark.

During the August 5 market crash, where most cryptocurrencies plunged by 20%, MATIC fell to a two-year low price of $0.35. This level, last seen in June 2022, represented a 30% decrease from its price at the beginning of the month.

To Cryptorphic, if the token maintains above the crucial support zone, it could attempt to reclaim another key resistance level at the $0.98 mark. The analyst also set a retest of the token’s all-time high (ATH) price of $2.92 as a long-term target.

Similarly, another market watcher pointed out that Polygon’s native token “bounced perfectly from the lower boundary of the falling wedge pattern.” This suggested that investors could expect growth toward the $0.75 resistance level if the token…
