After month’s of decline, MATIC recouped its losses and analysts have set $1 as the bullish target for the altcoin.
The euphoria that surrounded Polygon hit its peak on July 18, when MATIC price hit $0.90. Crypto data intelligence platform Santiment reported that the rally in MATIC price is consistent with its on-chain activity.
