MATIC → Polygon Breaks Resistance! Should we Long or Short?

30 Dis 2023

MATIC has broken above the Previous Resistance Zone and is currently re-testing it as support. Is this a scenario where we enter a long? Or are we at the top ready to short?

How do we trade this? 🤔
We can play either scenario, but we need confirmation in one of the directions to have enough justifications to enter a trade. If the price comes back up and successfully tests the Support Zone, then it's reasonable to long scalp to the next Resistance Zone at $1.19. If we break below and re-test the Support Zone as resistance, it's reasonable to short scalp near the Support Line. Bitcoin is also at a crucial point in the market cycle, we need to see if it falls or breaks out to and above $46,000. Bitcoins direction could (and probably will) drag the alt market with it.

We need that confirmation to have enough probability to enter a trade. We're stuck in limbo without a clear direction at this point and should remain on the sidelines until more price actions prints on the screen.

💰 Trading Tip 💰
Don't trade without clarity. If the price action isn't giving you favorable probability or optimal entries, don't trade it. You will be far wealthier by waiting on the sidelines.


⚠️ Risk Warning! ⚠️
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. You are solely responsible for your trades. Trade at your own risk!

Nota

MATIC followed the rest of the crypto market with a massive sell off and in case you missed it, the circled bar in the above chart was the signal to sell. A quick 1:1 scalp was all that was justified given the massive sell bar, but a sell bar it was! The crypto market is cooling off from the sell-off, now we need to wait for another sell signal as I believe we have more downside to come before new all-time highs are hit.
