Polygon’s native token, MATIC, faces <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/polygon-matic-poised-for-1500-bullish-wave-analyst-insights/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">significant price challenges</a> despite a recent surge in on-chain activity. Some analysts believe that the growing network activity could be a sign of a reversal, but the token’s market situation remains bleak. <a href="https://twitter.com/santimentfeed/status/1828857731446649125" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">As reported </a>by blockchain analytics firm Santiment on August 28, activity on Polygon had risen sharply.

However, a notable spike in on-chain activity may be a sign that a MATIC reversal may be brewing soon. Active addresses and dormant coin spikes are common signals preceding this. <a href="https://t.co/RY5NXe10ZW" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pic.twitter.com/RY5NXe10ZW</a>

This rise also involves a significant transfer of previously inactive MATIC tokens and an increase in the number of addresses interacting with the network. This surge is the second highest of the year, raising questions as to whether there is going to be a reversal in the token’s current downward trend.&nbsp;
Overall, however, the data paints a somewhat more complex picture. According to <a href="https://polygonscan.com/chart/tx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Polygonscan data</a>, the address activity has reduced tremendously from 1.6 million in the last week of July to approximately 70,000 by the end of August, a 50% drop. Likewise, the number of daily transactions has reduced to about 3 million from 5 million in March. It reached its peak in late August. These numbers illustrate MATIC’s struggles, although on-chain metrics indicate that the network is far from dead.&nbsp;

However, the increase in on-chain activity observed despite the recent price fluctuations could indicate future growth for MATIC. According to Santiment’s Age Consumed metric, which measures the movement of tokens held for a long time, there has been growth. This rise suggests that there are tokens that were previously inactive but have become active, a development that has in the past pointed to changes in the price of the token.&nbsp;
The uncertainty of MATIC was also fueled by recent Binance’s decision to support Polygon’s network <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/polygon-prepares-for-pol-upgrade-with-major-matic-transfers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">token migration from MATIC to POL</a>-on September 4. This is in line with Polygon’s plans to transform its network additionally and for the higher.&nbsp;
However, the Polygon community has also had its own issues,<a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/polygon-discord-breach-triggers-attacks-on-avalanche-and-zksync/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> with its Discord channel </a>being hacked on August 24 as part of a mass attack. The breach was across several blockchain projects, making the platform and its ecosystem vulnerable to attacks.&nbsp;
<h3 id="span-style-font-weight-400-matic-price-fails-to-sustain-recent-gains-span">MATIC Price Fails to Sustain Recent Gains</h3>
However, the price of MATIC has failed to pick up the pace even after <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/polygon-matic-whale-activity-rockets-16263-in-anticipation-of-pol-upgrade/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">a noticeable increase </a>in on-chain transactions. On August 25, the token surged to about $0.58, its highest level in two months, but then declined 24% to $0.437 on August 29, its lowest level in 10 days. In the last 24 hours, MATIC has decreased by 3%, trading at $0.43. The current price levels put MATIC at 85%, down from its all-time high of $2.92, registered in December 2021.&nbsp;

On August 20, crypto analyst World of Charts <a href="https://twitter.com/WorldOfCharts1/status/1826149949257433427" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pointed </a>to an upward reversal signal for MATIC, pointing out that the token had surmounted a six-month descending trendline. As stated by the analyst, this breakout could be indicative of a change in market sentiment and the price of MATIC may climb to $1, an increase of 143% from the current price.&nbsp;
