Polygon’s tweet also mentioned the token name change from MATIC to POL. So how was this change received by traders and holders of the MATIC token? Let’s find out.
At the time of writing, data from Coinglass showed MATIC’s long/short ratio at 1.02. This indicated that a greater number of traders held long positions than those who held shorter positions. This indicated that most traders believed in MATIC’s long-term potential.

Moreover, data from Santiment indicated that MATIC’s weighted sentiment showed an increase in recent days, but after a small decline, it stood at 0.708. While the drop wasn’t significant enough to be called bullish or bearish, it certainly indicated a shift in investor perspective towards the altcoin.
Additionally, there was a significant increase in MATIC’s social dominance, as shown in the graph below. However, the total number of MATIC holders has been steadily rising over the past three months despite the market’s bearish front. This was a clear indication that MATIC holders were in it for the long haul.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) was not exactly in favor of the bulls or the bears, given the position of the signal line on the MACD line.
So, traders looking for a buy signal may want to consider increasing the buying pressure, albeit cautiously.
