- MATIC price is setting the base for a triple bottom setup that could trigger a full-blown trend reversal.
- Investors can expect a bullish retracement that could lead to a 30% upswing to $1.69.
- A six-hour candlestick close below $1.24 will invalidate the bullish thesis for Polygon.
MATIC price shows an interesting setup in formation. A build-up of buying pressure could be the key to triggering a massive upswing for Polygon.
MATIC price needs to gather strength
MATIC price set a range, extending from $1.24 to $1.69 as it rallied 36% between February 24 and March 2. These points subdued Polygon, which has been traversing in between this area since March 2. However, things could be heating up and bulls could be preparing to contest the upper limit of this range.
On March 15, MATIC price set a swing low at $1.33 and rallied 30% to briefly deviate above the range high. However, this upswing failed to maintain its momentum, leading to a 23% crash that swept the March 15 swing low at $1.33.
This price action is important since it sets the foundation for a triple bottom pattern. As MATIC price approaches the 50% retracement level at $1.47, a rejection here could send the Layer 2 token to retest the $1.33 barrier. Such a move would complete the bottom reversal pattern and trigger a massive surge in buying pressure.
The resulting upswing is likely going to shatter the midpoint at $1.47 and make its way toward the range high at $1.69. This uptrend would constitute a 30% gain and is likely where the bulls will slow down.
