Polygon had a bullish outlook on the charts last week after it climbed past a crucial level of resistance at $0.88. However, this bullish momentum could not last very long. MATIC broke its bullish market structure in the past few days, and was likely to fall further down the charts.

Market structure flips bearish yet again after bears force MATIC below $0.88

MATIC continued to trade within the range it established in July. This range extended from $0.72 to $1.02, with the mid-range at $0.88. This level acted as support and resistance on multiple occasions, and reinforced the credibility of the range.

In the past week, MATIC managed to scale the $0.88 level and flip it to support. In doing so it also formed a lower timeframe (four-hour) bullish order block. This area was expected to serve as a strong support zone but the past couple days of trading saw MATIC bears seize the upper hand.

They were able to force a 12-hour session close below $0.88. In doing so the price broke through the bullish order block, and flipped the market structure to bearish as well.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) slipped back below neutral 50 to show momentum began to favor the sellers once more. The On-Balance Volume (OBV) stayed relatively flat in recent months, which highlighted the likelihood of a continuation of the range.

To the south, the range lows at $0.72 and $0.79 levels could see a bullish reaction in the next week or two.

Furthermore, the development activity metric saw a decline in recent weeks, but over the past three months it has seen peaks and troughs. Once again, this highlighted a positive aspect of MATIC and longer-term investors will have one less worry based on this metric.
