Here is what market makers have in store for MATIC price

MATIC price has shown an incredible recovery run over the past three weeks. The bounce from the recent pullback suggests that bullish momentum is back. However, things could turn ugly with potential liquidity sweeps followed by a reversal.

MATIC price and testing its limits

MATIC price retraced 33% after its 100% upswing that was triggered on June 18. This pullback emerged after the altcoin formed three equal highs at roughly $0.626. The correction stabilized around the $0.477 support level as Polygon bulls moved above it.

So far, market makers or smart money has pushed MATIC price up by 43% in hopes of collecting the buy-stop liquidity resting above $0.626. However, this run-up seems to be facing a temporary resistance at $0.595, resulting in another equal high.

While market makers have a much bigger incentive to push MATIC price higher, a reversal after collecting liquidity might be in place. Moreover, the equal highs formed around $0.595 can be viewed as a double top formation that signals the end of an uptrend. 

Either way, the upside for MATIC price is capped around the $0.626 level. Only a four-hour candlestick close that flips this hurdle into a support level will allow the altcoin to retest the high-time-frame resistance barrier at $0.686.

On the other hand, if MATIC price produces a four-hour candlestick close below the $0.477support level, it will flip it into a resistance barrier and invalidate the bullish thesis. 

In such a case, MATIC price could crash 20% to revisit the weekly support level at $0.381.
