cropped potato fav2 32x32 1

Key  Support levels: $2, $1.8

Key Resistance levels: $2.4, $2.9 (ATH)

After a great performance where the price hit $2.9, MATIC lost momentum and is now correcting towards the key support at $2. The level at $2.4 was confirmed as resistance, and the price has formed lower highs since then.

On the way up, MATIC has formed a large bearish wedge (represented in blue on the first chart) and now the price appears to be on the decline. The cryptocurrency is likely to enter into a correction and longer consolidation.

Short-Term Price Prediction for MATIC

MATIC’s stellar performance in December 2021 was followed by a significant correction in January. The price decreased by over 30% before recovering. The trend remains bearish, and MATIC will likely test the $2 support level again. If that doesn’t hold bears in check, then MATIC is likely to fall lower.
