MATIC Faces Price Decline Due to Increased Selling Pressure !!
#EarnFreeCrypto2024 #TopCoinsJune2024 #altcoins #BTC #bitcoin MATIC, the token powering Polygon, saw its price drop by 10% in the last seven days. This caused it to trade near the lower line of the horizontal channel it has been following since April 13. If the bearish trend towards altcoins continues, the price risks falling below this critical support level, finding new lows.
Why is MATIC Dropping?
MATIC was trading at $0.63, its lowest price since October 2023, at the time of writing. Since April 13, its price has oscillated within a horizontal channel, trading between a resistance of $0.75 and a support of $0.64. Generally, this channel forms when an asset’s price consolidates within a specific range for a while. This occurs due to a relative balance between buying and selling pressures, preventing the price from showing a strong trend in either direction.MATIC’s price movement towards the lower line of this channel last week indicates an increased bearish trend towards the altcoin. This was confirmed by the negative weighted sentiment observed on the chain. Since the beginning of the month, MATIC’s weighted sentiment has been predominantly negative. At the time of writing, this data was -0.64.
