Analysis of the current state of Bitcoin (BTC) and Polygon (MATIC).

Bitcoin

On the daily timeframe, the situation remains unchanged since yesterday's analysis. The BTC price remains in the $25,800-$27,000 support zone. Further support lies between $24,000-$25,200 and $19,600-$20,900.

The resistance levels at $28,000 and the range between $29,500 and $31,000 are still relevant.

On the hourly timeframe, the BTC price has once again tested the resistance zone between $27,400 and $27,700 within three days. Buyers failed to demonstrate sufficient strength to surpass this level, resulting in BTC establishing a new local low at $26,374. 

Currently, the market is experiencing sideways movement, confined within a horizontal channel. The nearest support zone is identified at $26,100 to $26,500. There is a realistic possibility of witnessing a retest of the $25,800 minimum or even a break below it. Should this occur, Bitcoin could approach the support zones previously identified on the daily timeframe. 

The significance of the resistance levels at $28,000-$28,300 and $28,900 remains unchanged.

Polygon

On the daily timeframe, MATIC is currently trading within a support zone ranging from $0.71 to $0.84. The next significant levels where buyers could potentially accumulate their orders are the $0.65 level and the broader range of $0.42-$0.47.

The closest resistance level to watch out for is the psychological level of $1. Additionally, on the chart, we can identify resistance zones between $1.09 and $1.22, as well as a wider range spanning from $1.30 to $1.56. It is worth noting that MATIC price is highly correlated with BTC, which should be taken into consideration before initiating any trades.

On the hourly timeframe, MATIC is currently trading within a horizontal channel, with a support zone ranging from $0.82 to $0.85, and a resistance zone between $0.88 and $0.90. Notably, trading volumes have seen a significant surge over the past two days, indicating potential readiness for either sellers or buyers to break out of the sideways trend. 

If the current resistance level is successfully breached, the MATIC price could target the next resistance levels at $0.93 and $0.97. Conversely, a downside breakout from the range would open the path towards the support level at $0.80 and other buyer zones identified on the daily timeframe.
