MATIC price remains to consolidate near support levels

On the daily chart, the MATIC price has been trading in the downtrend since December 28, after tagging the swing highs near $2.92. In addition to that, the descending trend line act as a resistance for the bulls. The price depreciated nearly 65% from the December record highs.

Further, the MATIC price pierced the 50-day EMA (Exponential Moving Average) at $2.20 on January 18, adding more pressure to the asset. Since then, the sellers remain active in MATIC.

Currently, the price is trading near the vital support placed around $1.31. In the previous attempt, MATIC shoots up nearly 34% to test the highs of $1.71.This time too, a sustained buying pressure could push the price to first test the bearish slopping line at $1.50.

A successful daily closing above the bearish slopping line would bring $1.60 into play followed by the ultimate target of $1.75.

On the other hand, a spike in sell orders would shift the bullish sentiment. A weekly close below $1.30 will invalidate the upside theory in the asset. On moving lower investors could collect liquidity around $1.20, the levels last seen in October.

As per the CoinMarketCap, the 24-hour trading volume of MATIC holds at $1,016,670,599.
