The Polygon architecture was designed by Indian blockchain developers Sandeep Nailwal, Anurag Arjun, and Jayanti Kanani. It was developed in 2017 with an aim to solve slow transactions, higher fees issues of Ethereum.
The crypto was popularized globally after American entrepreneur Mark Cuban invested in MATIC. The more security, faster and cheaper transactions create an anticipated hype in the crypto world. In February 2021, MATIC rebranded as Polygon.
At the time of writing this technical analysis, MATIC is trading around $2.438. Overall, the chart is bullish in daily and weekly charts. We are going to analyze the daily chart to understand the short-term movement of this coin.
The price of Polygon has been following a trendline and took support around $2.36. If it breaks the level, the coin may go for a short-term bearishness. It has already made an ATH in December, so theoretically, it can be a resistance level. However, we think it may not be a resistance point.
On the daily chart, the MACD is bearish, but the RSI is strong, around 58. However, the last two daily candlesticks formed in the lower half of the Bollinger Bands. However, we do not think it is as bearish. The MATIC price may consolidate for a couple of months, but it continues its bullish run this year.
