Dark clouds are hovering over the crypto market. The leading crypto Bitcoin has seen below the critical support level of $ 20 thousand and is now struggling not to lose this level. Bitcoin’s sharp decline has had a contagion effect, and altcoin projects have also suffered serious altitude loss. A crypto analyst is warning his followers about the recently popular crypto Polygon (MATIC).
Critical level and danger of selling for altcoin!
cryptocoin.com As you follow, the market is quite complex and along with Bitcoin, most altcoins are trading at critical levels. The analyst points to the critical support level of $1.04 for MATIC. He warns his followers about what will happen if the altcoin, which is currently traded below this level, does not recover this support quickly. As a background to this, the analyst says that if this level cannot be recovered, 21,530 wallets could start selling their 4.21 billion MATIC.
The analyst states that these wallets buy MATIC between $0.99 and $1.07, and suggests that panic selling may bring about a meltdown in the MATIC price. Ali Martinez shared the following on his Twitter account regarding the issue:
Polygon has dropped below critical support! MATIC needs to reclaim $1.04 as support as soon as possible! The rise is needed to prevent 21,530 addresses from panickingly selling 4.21 billion MATIC, which they bought for between $0.99 and $1.07.
