Market data suggests Polygon (MATIC) may be poised for an impending price resurgence, as its 30-day MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) ratio flashes an unusual buy signal. Wise Advice, a crypto analyst, highlighted this metric, citing data presented by market veteran Ali Martinez. The MVRV ratio compares an assetβs market value to its realized value to assess if the assetβs price is overvalued or undervalued.
The ratio recently dropped to negative territory, indicating that MATIC has slipped to the undervalued zone and is primed for a rebound. Wise Advice pointed out that the last two times the MVRV ratio dropped to this level, MATIC saw substantial price surges.
The metric slipped to undervalued territories in August 2023 when Polygonβs price dropped to the $0.5 threshold. Shortly after this descent, the crypto asset attempted a recovery push but faced resistance at the 50-day EMA ($0.648), leading to another slump.
After reaching a floor of $0.493 in September 2023, MATIC started a bullish rally, surging to a high of $0.983 on Nov. 14, 2023. However, the MVRV ratio dropped again when Polygon fell from the $0.983 high, eventually re-entering the undervalued zone in January this year.
The decline in the MVRV ratio preceded another impressive price rally for MATIC, with the token breaching the $1 threshold on Feb. 18 for the first time in over a month. Polygon extended the upsurge beyond this point, reaching a 12-month high of $1.290 on March 13.
The latest market-wide retracement triggered a drop from this high, resulting in a subsequent decline in the MVRV ratio. The ratio has now hit a low of -12.13, with its seven-day average value sitting at -11.35.
Citing historical data, Wise Advice expects a rebound in MATICβs price, which currently hovers around the $0.9 territory. The asset is already showing signs of recovery as the broader market aims to recoup recent losses. Since dropping to $0.860 on April 5, Polygon has recorded two consecutive days of gains.
