Top 3 Coins to Watch Today: MATIC, ADA, SLP – April 7 Trading Analysis

Let’s take a closer look at today’s altcoins showing breakout signals. We’ll explain what the coin is, then dive into the trading charts and provide some analysis to help you decide.

1. Polygon (MATIC)

Polygon MATIC is the first well-structured, easy-to-use platform for Ethereum scaling and infrastructure development. Its core component is Polygon SDK, a modular, flexible framework that supports building multiple types of applications. The MATIC token will continue to exist and will play an increasingly important role in securing the system and enabling governance.

MATIC Price Analysis

At the time of writing, MATIC is ranked the 17^th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$1.48. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

Since its Q1 lows, MATIC has been in a steady bullish trend – printing a 40% gain by mid-March. The price found support near $1.37, at the 70.6% retracement level, during February’s decline.

Last week’s sharp impulse up might have marked the start of a new bullish swing. If so, higher timeframes suggest that $1.80 near the 61.8% retracement, and the 9, 18 and 40 EMAs, may see interest from bulls. The price could reach lower, near $1.40, and still find support.

Currently, the price is contesting a region between $1.55 and $1.45. Closes over this level could confirm it as new support, leading to a move higher.

However, bulls are contending with probable resistance near $1.54, while $1.62 is also likely to be sensitive with the nearest support and resistance this close together.

2. Cardano (ADA)

Cardano ADA is a proof-of-stake blockchain platform whose stated goal is to allow “changemakers, innovators, and visionaries” to bring about positive global change. The open-source project also aims to “redistribute power from unaccountable structures to the margins to individuals”, helping to create a society that is more secure, transparent, and fair. Cardano is used by agricultural companies to track fresh produce from field to fork, while other products built on the platform allow educational credentials to be stored in a tamper-proof way, and retailers to clamp down on counterfeit goods.

ADA Price Analysis

At the time of writing, ADA is ranked the 9^th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$1.08. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

ADA‘s near 60% drop during Q3 found a low near $0.7835 during mid-March before closing over a short-term high.

This daily close over the high could signal a shift in market structure that may reach probable resistance near $1.18. A sustained bullish move may target the swing high at $1.22. If this stop run occurs, a run beyond the high into probable resistance near $1.28 and $1.37 is possible.

Bulls could buy a retracement to possible support near $0.9840, just above the weekly open. A bearish turn in the marketplace may propel the price toward possible support near $0.9325. 

However, relatively equal lows near $0.8857 and $0.8522 provide an attractive target for bears if the market resumes its bearish trend. A run on these lows might find support between $0.8247 and $0.8052.

3. Smooth Love Potion (SLP)

Smooth Love Potion SLP tokens are earned by playing the Axie Infinity game. This digital asset serves as a replacement for experience points. SLP are ERC-20 tokens, and they can be used to breed new digital pets known as Axies. The cost of breeding begins at 100 SLP but increases gradually, rising to 200 SLP for the second breed, 300 for the third, 500 for the fourth, 800 for the fifth, and 1,300 for the sixth. Axies can be bred a maximum of seven times, and the seventh breed costs 2,100 SLP. This limit exists in order to prevent hyperinflation in the marketplace.

SLP Price Analysis

At the time of writing, SLP is ranked the 375^th cryptocurrency globally and the current price is US$0.02155. Let’s take a look at the chart below for price analysis:

SLP‘s 65% rally during March ran into a 30% retracement near $0.02015. Since then, the price has been consolidating in a 40% range between $0.02124 and $0.02632.

Just below the late-December low, $0.01824 is the first level likely to provide substantial support. If the price breaks down through this level, overlapping levels near $0.01758 might cap a run on the lows near $0.01632 and $0.01575.

The higher-timeframe analysis points to the area near $0.02751 as the next substantial resistance. Significant selling has been occurring here on the daily chart. If this level breaks, the swing highs near $0.03027 and $0.03360 may be the next targets.
