The price of MATIC is now resting near the daily support level at around $0.7887 and has consolidated in a parallel price channel between the support level and $0.8414 after it dropped 9.49% on December 16, 2022.

As a result, MATIC’s price is now trading below the 9-day and 20-day EMA lines. The relative positions of these lines suggest that there is still bearish pressure present on MATIC’s chart as the 9-day EMA line is positioned below the 20-day EMA line.

In addition to the bearish flag signaled by the 9 and 20-day EMA lines, the daily RSI line is also sloped negatively towards the oversold territory and is positioned well below the daily RSI SMA line.
