MATIC could create a balanced state if this comes to fruition
The entire crypto market faced a massive dump on 25 July. Consequently, some altcoins’ prices went on a downtrend. One of them is Polygon [MATIC], which had an 8.59% decline over the last 24 hours as per CoinMarketCap.
The Ethereum-based cryptocurrency had also decreased by 19.83% in the last seven days. It was one of the top twenty cryptocurrencies with the most losses. At the time of writing, MATIC was 73.90% down from its all-time high (ATH) of $2.90.

Between 14 July and 18 July, MATIC had significant gains. During this period, the price moved from $0.54 to $0.92. Thus, making reasonable profits for investors. The four-hour chart also revealed that the MATIC support subsequently increased around the same time. It increased from $0.54 to $0.75.
The current happenings may not be surprising since MATIC lost its support level on 22 July- from $0.86 to $0.82. Despite recovering to $0.87, a price fall was imminent.
