While the weekly readings are leaning bullish, the daily time frame still gives a bearish outlook. This is because of the price action and the RSI readings. The price action shows that MATIC has returned to the $0.85 horizontal area after seemingly breaking out above it. So far, there have been two deviations above this level.
Additionally, the most recent highs combined a bearish divergence in the daily RSI. This is a sign that often precedes bearish trend reversals. If the MATIC price closes below $0.85, a 13% decrease to the $0.74 horizontal support area will be likely. Despite this bearish MATIC price prediction, reclaiming the $0.85 area can lead to a 45% increase to the next resistance at $1.25.
