The four-hour market structure had been bullish, with the most recent higher low at $0.614. A few hours before press time, MATIC prices dived lower and signaled short-term bearish intent. In the $0.57-$0.59 sat a twelve-hour bullish breaker block.

This region had confluence with the range high (yellow) at $0.589. Therefore, a retest of the $0.59-$0.6 would offer an ideal buying opportunity targeting $0.65 or higher. The On-Balance Volume (OBV) saw an uptick over the past week to reflect increased buying pressure.

On the other hand, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) agreed with the market structure of MATIC and dipped beneath neutral 50. This was an early hint that momentum began to shift in bearish favor.
