Since September, the difficult roadblock and bearish order block of $0.571 – $0.588 (red) in the second half of the year have prevented MATIC from additional appreciation. An early October fake move near $0.60 was quickly reversed, sending the altcoin down to its previous range-high ($0.545) and range-low ($0.50).
The pullback could taper at the confluence of a breaker block and reach high at $0.545. If so, a likely recovery could lead to a potential gain of 4.8% if MATIC retests the overhead hurdle at $0.58. Such a move could make the range-high a great buying opportunity.
A break below the range high will negate the bullish bias and force bulls to attempt another re-entry at the range low ($0.50).
