MATIC Price Prediction: All Eyes on $0.80With 87% of MATIC holders likely unwilling to sell at a loss, a significant surge in demand could trigger a price rally. IntoTheBlock’s IOMAP data reveals $0.75 as the significant resistance level hindering MATIC from reaching the elusive $0.80 target.
As seen below, about 8,000 investors bought MATIC at a minimum price of $0.75. If they decide to book some profit, MATIC could reverse below $0.70 again.
But, if the new Polygon CEO appointment becomes a game changer, the $0.75 resistance could evolve into a larger accumulation zone.
If that happens, MATIC could reclaim $0.80 for the first time since the SEC lawsuit in early June.

Although unlikely, if that supports buy-wall caves, MATIC could retrace toward $0.60 again
