The selling pressure on Polygon (MATIC) increases as Celsius moves over 25.76 million tokens to Binance and Crypto.com.

MATIC became the center of attention when it crossed $1 in December 2023. However, the price has since struggled, and it’s down over 25% from the local top.

Nonetheless, technical analysts anticipate that MATIC is strong in the higher time frames. Analyst @Moneytaur_ believes the $0.55 price range is a higher time frame (HTF) buy opportunity.

“HTF structure isn’t broken yet, so it’s a level to consider for later (set alerts near & chill) rather than short-term unless BTC closes HTF <  level, which would increase the probability for $0,55 on MATIC quite a bit,” elaborated @Moneytaur_.
