Polygon [MATIC] rested its short-term support last week but failed to garner enough buy pressure to support a healthy bounce. Instead, the bulls lost the battle to the bears, leading to a 24% crash in the last 10 days.
MATIC had been trading within a megaphone pattern prior to the bearish performance since mid-June. It failed to garner enough bullish momentum towards mid-month, and investors took this as a cue to sell.
As a consequence, MATIC dropped by as much as 24% from 13 September.

For example, we observed a sharp uptick in MATIC’s social volume on 21 September. This marked the highest weekly social volume in the last seven days.
