Polygon Dominates NFT Transactions, Exceeds in Stablecoin Growth

Polygon’s growing relevance is also highlighted by its increasing popularity among stablecoin users and NFT transactions, positioning it as a primary blockchain choice in the current digital asset landscape. This trend is further supported by Robinhood Wallet’s focus on expanding crypto trading, evidenced by its inclusion of all spot Bitcoin ETFs and extending services to European markets as of December 2023.
MATIC Price Action
Over the past 30 days, Polygon’s MATIC token has been experiencing a bearish trend, with its prices consistently declining to lower levels. This downward movement has been reflected in the weekly charts as well. Despite this, a noticeable shift in momentum occurred following Robinhood’s recent announcement that it now supports cross-chain swaps on the Polygon (MATIC) network—an update that could enhance the token’s capabilities.
As of press time, the MATIC token is trading at $0.7141, marking a modest increase of 1.03% over the last 24 hours. This recent uptick accompanies an increase in its intraday trading volume by 1.45%, reaching $7,141,569,554. However, despite this rise in trading volume, there has been a 10.95% decrease in the last day’s trading volume, totaling $231,955,086. This suggests a recent dip in trading activity among investors and traders in the MATIC network. Presently, MATIC stands as the 18th largest cryptocurrency in terms of market cap.
Bullish Break or Bearish Pullback?
On a technical note, the MATIC/USD pair on the 1-day chart is testing the 38.20% Fibonacci retracement level, a crucial point for the pair’s near-term trajectory. If this level is surpassed, MATIC could approach and possibly breach the 50% Fibonacci level. This level is currently acting as minor resistance. Breaking through this resistance could trigger a bullish trend for the MATIC token, aiming for higher resistance levels.
Conversely, if the MATIC token fails to surpass the 38.2% Fibonacci level and instead drops below this threshold, it could test the lower trendline. A breach below this trendline might push the token towards the 23.6% Fibonacci level, which is acting as a lower support. A further decline through this support could lead to a pull towards more critical support levels, setting the stage for potential targets set by bearish traders.
