At the time of writing, Polygon’s [MATIC] recovery hit crossroads that should concern bulls. It bounced remarkably after dipping to $0.5089 on 10 June. But the recovery has hit a $0.6894 roadblock, which was previously a support in Q3 2022.

On the 4-hour chart, the RSI and OBV registered sharp spikes denoting increased buying pressure and demand for MATIC. Hence, a cross above the $0.6894 resistance was likely if BTC maintained the $30k zone. 

However, the H4 market structure will only flip bullish if MATIC pushes beyond the lower high at $0.7893. The level also aligns with a trendline resistance (white) and could exert short-term selling pressure, especially if BTC retraces from $30k. 

Therefore, a short-squeeze could happen at the immediate resistance at $0.6894, especially if BTC maintains $30k and surges. But short-sellers could attempt another re-entry at $0.7893. 

Any move above $0.7893 will confirm further solid bullish intent for MATIC, and the next target will be $0.9503 in such a scenario.
