Giottus Cryptocurrency Exchange’s Tech View
Polygon (MATIC), arguably the most popular Layer-2 blockchain in the crypto market, has been on a tear recently. It has risen in value following the implementation of Miden, a zero-knowledge (ZK) rollup solution that helps scale the Polygon Network. It is already supporting other major crypto projects such as Aave (thanks to its low fees and quick settlement times) and has risen in value following the implementation of Miden, a zero-knowledge (ZK) rollup solution that helps scale the Polygon Network.
Despite the weekend’s crypto market crash, it continues to trade above$2.2, indicating continued strength and potential upside.
During the brief crash, MATIC corrected to $1.57, but its bullish structure remained intact, allowing for a quick bounce. It now faces the same resistances at $2.31 and $2.4, which it recently flipped to support. Although its BTC ratio has reached a new local high, some consolidation is expected, either in the form of a BTC move up or a MATIC correction.
Should a correction occur, the previously well-tested support levels of $1.97 and $1.88, both based on the Fibonacci pull of the recent drop, should once again come to the rescue. MATIC appears to be extremely bullish in the medium term, potentially setting new highs soon.
