Polygon has been stuck in its current sideways movement since the later half of 2022. Since then, the ecosystem\u2019s native token MATIC has not left its current support of $0.7550. This spot has left MATIC in a very delicate situation even as Polygon itself is setting itself apart from competitors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The ecosystem has ended 2022 on a beautiful note, though. Although the year’s bear market clawed through MATIC\u2019s gains, the ecosystem is thriving with partnerships.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As of writing, the Ethereum L2 has over 20 <\/span>partnerships<\/span><\/a> with major brands like Nike, StarBucks, and Reddit. They mostly dealt with being the ideal NFT platform for their respective NFT collections or marketplace. <\/span>Year to date<\/span><\/a>, the NFT market of Polygon reached $305 million in trade value.<\/span><\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the only bullish development on the platform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bhavish Finance<\/span><\/a>, a newly built prediction market platform, has reached new highs. According to the most recent tweet of Bhavish regarding its key metrics, the market platform breached 1,100 weekly active users with over $1.287 million predictions made on the platform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Bhavish\u2019s own website, the platform is handling over $90-$100 million in predictions and gains an average of $2.5 million to $3.5 million.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Major Headwinds Expected<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The ecosystem certainly is bullish, but the token is far from it. As of press time, MATIC is up by only 0.1%, showing signs of possible weakness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

MATIC has certainly suffered along with the entire crypto market following the collapse of crypto exchange FTX. Showing strong correlation to both Bitcoin and Ethereum, MATIC is set to have a bumpy 2023.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If ever BTC and ETH continue to suffer in the midst of <\/span>possible hikes<\/span><\/a> in interest by the U.S. Federal Reserve, we might see MATIC experiencing more pain. However, this is offset by eye-catching developments on-chain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most notable of these is the <\/span>migration <\/span><\/a>of y00ts and DeGods NFT collection to Polygon. This is a massive win for both Polygon and Ethereum against the touted \u201cEthereum killer\u201d Solana. But with MATIC stuck on an oscillating path until now, the token\u2019s holders can\u2019t capitalize on the growth of the ecosystem just yet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
For investors and traders, the current support being this strong can support any upward growth. However, any bullish momentum that can be gained can only be attained above the current resistance at $0.8157.

By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn. Christian's journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats \u2013 a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later). Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling - right up his alley! So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he's one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill). Think Christian's all work and no play? Not a chance! When he's not at his computer, you'll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair. Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin\u2019 helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better. Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies. Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects.
