Key Takeaways
- MATIC is up more than 20% in the last 24 hours.
- Buying pressure continues rising despite the recent gains.
- Polygon may be targeting $1.83 as it faces no resistance ahead.
Polygon’s native token MATIC appears to have entered a new uptrend fueled by whales that have been accumulating tokens at a discount.
MATIC Targets Higher Highs
Polygon’s MATIC token is soaring.
Behavior analytics platform Santiment reveals that demand for Polygon is accelerating quickly. Based on the token’s supply distribution, the number of addresses with 100,000 to 10,000,000 MATIC has surged by nearly 9.34% in the last few weeks.
Roughly 67 whales have joined the Polygon network since Jul. 20.
The growing number of large investors backing the distributed ledger startup may seem insignificant at first glance. Still, when considering these whales hold between $135,000 and $13.5 million in MATIC, the sudden spike in buying pressure is substantial.
Transaction history shows that the only significant supply barrier ahead of Polygon sits at $1.83. Around this price level, more than 23,500 addresses have previously purchased 173 million MATIC.
IntoTheBlock’s Global In/Out of the Money (GIOM) model also reveals that Polygon sits on top of a vital demand barrier. More than 5,000 addresses bought over 685,000 MATIC between $1.21 and $1.36.
