• Polygon is trading in a bullish channel while making higher lows.

• Polygon is driven by a combination of market momentum and internal fundamentals.

• Among the fundamentals driving Polygon is its position as one of the most significant Ethereum scaling solutions. 

Polygon MATIC/USD has been on an uptrend since March 16th. In this period, Polygon has moved from $1.39 to a high of $1.67 today. Polygon continues to gain upside momentum, and with the broader market turning bullish, it could easily break the $2 mark in the short term.

Besides its price being driven by broader market momentum, Polygon is heavily tied to Ethereum, which is a big deal in terms of its long-term growth. Ethereum’s transition to Proof-of-Stake will be complete in the next few months. Test runs are already a success, which means the much-awaited shift to Eth2.0 will be done soon.

The impact is that most Ethereum transactions will move to layer-2 solutions. Polygon happens to be one of the largest and most recognized Ethereum layer-2 solutions in the market. This means demand for Polygon and other layer-2 solutions is about to skyrocket. As this happens, the value of the MATIC token will also rally.
