Polygon has held above a critical support level following the steep correction seen in the cryptocurrency markets over the past few weeks. Whales appear to have enjoyed the retracement to buy tokens at a discount, positioning MATIC for a significant bullish impulse.
Polygon’s MATIC Sees Buying Pressure
Polygon appears to be gaining the buying pressure it needs to break out.
The Layer 2 scaling network’s MATIC token has seen a price increase of more than 13% over the past two days. MATIC bounced off the X-axis of a descending triangle that has been developing on its 12-hour chart since mid-January. Although Polygon continues to consolidate within this technical pattern, a breach of the $1.54 resistance level could result in significant gains.
The height of the triangle’s Y-axis added to the breakout point suggests that a sustained close above $1.54 could result in a 41% upswing to $2.16.

Still, on-chain data shows that slicing through $1.54 may prove challenging.
IntoTheBlock’s In/Out of the Money Around Price model shows that nearly 18,500 addresses have previously purchased more than 850 million MATIC between $1.54 and $1.59. The significant supply wall could have the strength to absorb any upward price action, while a 12-hour candlestick close above this hurdle could lead to higher highs.

It is worth noting that the buying pressure behind Polygon has seen a significant acceleration over the past three weeks. The Polygon addresses holding between 1 million and 10 million MATIC have added more than 60 million MATIC worth roughly $84 million to their holdings since Apr. 8. If buy orders continue to increase, MATIC could see a breakout.

As the odds appear to favor the bulls, the $1.25 support level is likely to be decisive. A clear drop below this demand zone could invalidate the optimistic outlook and result in a steep correction. MATIC could then drop $1.14 in search of support.
