MATIC’s Year-End Rally: Breaks $1 Barrier After 7 Months

Polygon’s MATIC has secured its position among the top 5 trending tokens on the CoinGecko search list, marking a triumphant end to the year with significant milestones. After an impressive run, MATIC broke the $1 barrier, experiencing a remarkable 21% surge in just the past hour, securing its position among the top gainers.

Despite a less favorable mid-month performance, December has proven to be a turning point for the 12th-ranked token, now poised for a bullish conclusion to the year. A notable factor contributing to the bullish sentiment surrounding MATIC is the unwavering support from its large-scale holders, often referred to as whales. Analysts had previously anticipated that this substantial backing could propel the Polygon token to overcome the seven-month-old resistance.

Significantly, Polygon’s Whale addresses, which had been reducing their holdings earlier in the month, turned bullish in the days leading up to the successful breakout past $1. Since December 16, addresses holding between 1 million and 10 million MATIC tokens have seen a substantial increase of 55 million Polygon tokens, valued at over $44.5 million. This surge brought their total holdings to 931 million MATIC, reflecting renewed confidence and accumulation.
