MATIC Price Forecast: Polygon poised for further losses after key level break

  • On the 1-hour chart, Polygon has lost a critical support level.
  • The digital asset had a breakdown from an ascending parallel channel.
  • The long-term momentum has shifted in favor of the bears.

MATIC price had a colossal 44% sell-off in the past week. Although the entire cryptocurrency market faces significant selling pressure, Polygon was one of the most affected coins. 

MATIC price could slip even lower

On the 1-hour chart, MATIC formed an ascending parallel channel that can be drawn by connecting the higher highs and higher lows with two parallel trendlines.

The breakdown of this pattern has a bearish price target of $0.347 initially. However, Polygon could fall toward the previous low of $0.32 if bearish momentum remains strong.

On the other hand, on the daily chart, MATIC price had a breakout from a symmetrical triangle pattern on April 13 and managed to stay above the previous resistance trendline.

This breakout had a price target of $0.50, and only $0.46 was reached, which means that Polygon could resume its uptrend to hit that target soon.
