Cryptocurrencies Price Prediction: Polygon, VeChain and Bitcoin – European Wrap 17 August

MATIC Price Prediction: Polygon needs to correct before shooting 70% higher

Although Polygon (MATIC) made a new high yesterday for this summer, it does not tell a compelling story for the days to come. Price got rejected at $1.57 and is forming a double top with the high on June 17. Buyers got tempted to take some profit around this level, causing a short-term correction and making other buyers take the money and run. For now, the low of August 15 is holding as near-term support at $1.36, but it is just a matter of time before sellers take over.
