Correlation with Bitcoin can have this impact on MATIC’s strong rally going forward

While a majority of the crypto market and assets have been experiencing losses for the past 2 months, MATIC has been rallying on the macro scale. The uptrend that began in October has surprisingly continued despite a couple of instances of MATIC falling through it.

The MATIC magic

The 3 sets of rallies that put MATIC at $2.87, helped the altcoin rise by over 174% in the span of just 2 and a half months.

The first rally of October shot MATIC up by 103.1%, the second rally of November helped the altcoin rise by 62%, and the final and most recent rally took MATIC up by 58.3%. However, MATIC’s tradition of losing a part of its gains continues with the 13.57% fall witnessed over the last 2 days.

But the one thing that matters the most is its investors’ situation. 3 months ago about 52% of its 309k addresses were suffering from losses. Today that figure has come down to just 1.18% and the rest of its 98.82% are avoided losses for now.

Out of these the 18k addresses specifically were losing the most, due to buying around all-time high prices are relieved.

Into the future

Going forward, MATIC might need to increase the proportion of its long-term holders compared to the mid-term holders it has. An asset can maintain low volatility if the investors aren’t incessant with their selling.

The only matter of concern hereon is the assets improving correlation with Bitcoin. Usually, this is a good sign but since the king coin is going down presently and MATIC is going up, a high correlation could be ruinous for the altcoin.

Fortunately, it is presently at -0.08 up from -0.7, so there is still some time before we see any effects of the king coin. Investors can consider a high correlation as the correct exit point, provided Bitcoin continues to move the way it is presently.
