Polygon [MATIC] has given up over three-quarters of its gains from the mid-February rally. It faced a critical test as it dropped to its multi-week ascending trendline.

Following the mid-February rally, which saw MATIC surge by 34% from $1.1611 to $1.5567, the subsequent correction caused MATIC to drop by 20%, erasing more than three-quarters of its previous gains.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) was below 50, indicating a bearish structure. If it crosses below the ascending line, the momentum could also shift to bearish. Furthermore, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) has headed south and crossed below the zero line, reinforcing the bears’ leverage in the market.
As a result, bears may continue to devalue MATIC below the ascending trendline. Short-sellers could benefit from additional shorting opportunities at the 100-period exponential moving average (EMA) of $1.1796. The 200-period EMA of $1.0640 could check an extended drop.
