Polygon has seen some sharp uptrend during the past day and has now broken above $0.85. Here’s why this break could pave the way for a further rally.
Polygon Has Risen By More Than 6% During The Past 24 Hours
After topping above the $0.94 mark earlier in the month, MATIC had gone on to register some significant drawdowns. In the last few days, though, the asset appears to have hit a bottom around the $0.75 level, as it hasn’t gone below the mark yet.
Something that could add further evidence for this is the fact that bullish momentum has returned for Polygon in the past day, as its price has shot up over 6%.

With this sharp surge, the cryptocurrency has recovered back above the $0.85 mark. This break could turn out to be significant for Polygon if on-chain data is anything to refer to.
MATIC Has Broken Past A Major Resistance Zone With The Latest Surge
In a post on X, analyst Ali discussed about how Polygon was about to face a major test of on-chain resistance. When the analyst had made the post, the coin was still trading around the $0.78 mark.
Here is a chart that shows how the on-chain support and resistance levels looked like at the time of the post:

In on-chain analysis, the potential of any price range to act as support or resistance depends on the number of coins that the investors purchased inside the particular range.
This is because of the fact that holders are more likely to react whenever the price retests their cost basis or acquisition price, as such a retest can flip their profit-loss condition. The more addresses that have their cost basis inside a particular range, the stronger the market reaction when the price retests said range.
From the chart, it’s visible that Polygon’s price had been trading just under the $0.79 to $0.84 range at the time Ali had made the post. This range carried the cost basis of around 38,570 addresses, which bought 4.24 billion MATIC at it.
Generally, whenever the investors are in a loss (as these holders would have been when MATIC was trading under the range), there is a chance that they sell when the price retests their cost basis since they might get desperate to exit the market and break-even would sound like a good opportunity to do so.
As a result of this, price ranges above the spot price that are dense with investors can provide resistance to the cryptocurrency. This had made the aforementioned thick $0.79 to $0.84 range important for Polygon. “For MATIC to embark on a journey to new heights, it’s crucial to break through this level with conviction,” the analyst noted in the post.
Following the latest surge, MATIC has clearly surged past this major obstacle. And as is visible in the graph, there aren’t any ranges this difficult to break anymore, either. It now remains to be seen how the Polygon price develops from here, given the lower on-chain resistance at the levels above.
