Polygon Shows Signs of Breakout; Will MATIC Hit $5?

After months of range-bound trading, Polygon (MATIC) has staged a decisive breakout this week, surging over 30% in the last 7 days. The layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum has seen building momentum, with analysts predicting MATIC could rally toward fresh all-time highs.

Polygon was trading hands around $1.03 at press time, up from local lows below $0.80 last week. The altcoin has rallied after finally breaking out of a long-term triangle consolidation pattern it has been stuck in since September.

Crypto analyst Captain Faibik noted MATIC is “finally breaking out of the triangle after long consolidation,” calling on “bulls” to “send it to $5.” Meanwhile, popular analyst Lambo Charts pointed to striking similarities with the coin’s previous massive rally in 2021, which saw gains of over 9,400% at its peak.

Will MATIC hit $5?

Analyst Lambo is targeting a 20x increase from current prices, noting upside potential towards $2, $5, $8, and $20 for Polygon MATIC. A rally to $20 would mark new record highs for MATIC, about 19 times above its current trading price.

Polygon’s previous all-time high came in December 2021 at $2.92, right before broader crypto markets turned south.
