MATIC and BCH: Altcoin Analysis for October 13, 2023

MATIC's charts, both in a broad and short-term view, reflect a bearish trend. The cryptocurrency is hovering within a support level of $0.492-$0.51. If Bitcoin remains steady, Polygon might continue its trajectory.

Should this support be compromised, buyers might show increased activity around the $0.47 and $0.45 marks. The muted interest in MATIC at its current valuation suggests further potential dips.

The initial resistance is positioned at $0.523, with additional seller activity clustered between $0.534-$0.551 and another notable level at $0.560. The MATIC price needs to stabilize beyond this last resistance to carve a foundation for a potential bullish momentum.

In the higher timeframes, BCH is on a downward trend, but there's a positive shift on the local scene. Currently, the asset is confined within a range, with support at $206 and resistance at $220. 

The price movement in either direction now largely depends on Bitcoin's chart. If there's an upward swing, we can expect further resistance within the $223-$227 range, as well as at the $229 and $235 marks. Surpassing these points would give Bitcoin Cash a strong chance to continue its ascending trend and potentially set new local highs.

Should it decline, BCH could test the next low, hovering around the psychological mark of $200.

High volatility isn't common in the crypto market during weekends, and this trend might continue this time around.
