Polygon Price Analysis: MATIC Consolidates Near $0.88; Hold Or Exit?

Polygon price analysis portrays consolidation at a higher level. The bulls failed to capitalize on the previous session’s gains as the price retreated below the crucial $0.95 mark. The formation of a ‘hammer’ candlestick on the hourly chart frame indicates the buying from the lower levels.

But the overall sentiment remained bearish. As of press time, MATIC/USD is reading at $$0.88, down 5.88% for the day. Further, the 24-hour trading volume gained 8% to $425,260,970 as per CoinMarketCap data. A jump in volume with a decline in price is a bearish sign.

• Polygon price erases all the previous gains and trades with a bearish bias.
• If the price drops below $0.88 it would bring more downside to MATIC.
• Short-term support was placed near the $0.86 level.
