MATIC struggles at resistance level of 05 Here are the reasons for potential downside

Coin Realm reports:
MATIC has retested the $0.5 mark as a resistance in its rebound, following a period of low trading volume. It is expected to fall to $0.448 or lower next week.
Like most other altcoins in the cryptocurrency market, Polygon [MATIC] is on a downward trend. It has also broken through a range like Bitcoin (BTC) did last week, making it difficult for bulls to prevent the bears’ advance.
The recent price plummet to $0.44 has caused significant distress to investors, as this is the lowest trading price for MATIC since June 2022.
In the past three months, buyers have been unable to defend the gains made earlier this year, indicating a long-term bearish sentiment.

On the 12-hour chart, the RSI has been below the neutral 50 since early June, indicating that the bearish trend is developing. This has not changed. $0.543 and $0.518 are resistance levels where short-sellers may wait to reject in shorter time frames.
The OBV continues to show a downward trend, highlighting the strength of sellers since April. Coupled with the price trend, a move towards $0.44 and $0.393 may be brewing.
