Yerevan (CoinChapter.com) — MATIC, the native token of the Polygon scalability platform, exhibits signs of forming a Double Top pattern following its spectacular 227 percent rally since May 8.
Technical Analysis
Double Top pattern, the bearish counterpart of the Double Bottom, typically forms a letter “M” through its price moves. It consists of two consecutive rounded tops — they don’t have to have the same peak. The second top, as a result, appears slightly lower than the first one. It shows a weakening bullish momentum bear a certain peak level, which grants the entire pattern the name of Double Top.
The MATIC daily chart matches the technical description so far. The first top stood at approximately $2.42 margin, only to drop back to $1.05 (black support line on the chart) with the rest of the market, following the infamous May 19 crash.
However, the token managed to log a shocking 110 percent gain from May 23 to 27, declining again afterward. The double top pattern suggests MATIC could drop back to the $1.05 margin in the upcoming sessions. Meanwhile, the token traded at $1.80 in the London session Friday.
The double top is often used with other indicators that can back up the suggested trend. However, the token’s 20-day exponential moving average (EMA-20: blue wave on the chart above) exhibits a quite strong bullish trend. Despite the recent turbulence, it is still safely above the 50-day moving average (MA-50: red wave). MATIC might continue to decline until it hits the EMA-20 but then rebound from it, using the indicator as additional support.
