MATIC has not dropped below the depicted mark since Ali’s forecast, and it is currently trading at around $0.97 (per CoinGecko’s data).

The content creator and investor Jake Gagain outlined an even more bullish scenario for the token, predicting a price appreciation to as high as $9 by 2025.

MATIC’s most recent spike coincides with an increase in Polygon’s on-chain trading volume. According to DefiLlama, the figure currently stands  at almost $170 million (a 300% jump compared to the numbers observed at the end of January).

Polygon has also performed quite well in the non-fungible token field,  registering  an NFT sales volume of approximately $6 million for the past seven days.
