The proposal effectively started destroying, or &#8220;burning,&#8221; a part of the fees paid to miners via Ether (ETH).<\/p>\n<p>Traders and investors raised their bids for Ether before and after the EIP-1559 upgrade, noting that it made Ether a deflationary asset for the first time in history. For example, a\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1XmeYkWEmaaZEUZ078A-lolchzNUrnlUllLkVXSGPzAU\/edit#gid=0\">model created by Ethereum co-founder Justin Drake<\/a> claimed that EIP-1559 would reduce Ether&#8217;s annual supply by 1.6 million ETH.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MATIC_looks_for_new_record_highs\"><\/span>MATIC looks for new record highs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Polygon, which acts as a layer-two protocol built to scale Ethereum&#8217;s prevailing scalability issues, rolled out a testing implementation of EIP-1559 on Dec. 14, 2021. After the test net launch, MATIC price rallied by almost 30% to $2.35, which includes a brief run-up to its record high near $3.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2022-01\/e9065168-7d95-464c-9496-4b0682f458e7.png\"><figcaption style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>MATIC\/USD daily price chart.

Issuance would be halved every four years against a limited supply cap of 21 million units. This begs the question, could the MATIC price rally in the same way? Mineplex co-founder Alexander Mamasidikov thinks yes.<\/p>\n<p>Mamasidikov told Cointelegraph that\u00a0EIP-1559 would impact MATIC price positively, adding that it could easily rally toward its current record high following the technical upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In periods of price recovery, investors are often on the lookout for both technical and fundamental features to hang onto in order to back a coin, and Polygon brandishes both,&#8221; he said, adding: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;While Polygon remains a better version of Ethereum in terms of lower transaction costs, it is also the delight of retail investors with respect to its low price at this time when compared with Ethereum or other smart contract networks.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_do_Polygons_technicals_say\"><\/span>What do Polygon&#8217;s technicals say?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>MATIC has been trending higher inside an ascending channel pattern since July 2021, confirmed by at least two reactive highs and two reactive lows.<\/p>\n<p>The token recently retested the channel&#8217;s lower trendline around $1.89 as support, a move that was followed up with a bullish retracement toward $2.50. It is now acting as resistance and the $2.50 level also turned out to be near the 1.00 Fib line near $2.44.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2022-01\/cccd0dd3-6bf6-45b1-a032-dfe009ac2130.png\"><figcaption style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>MATIC\/USD daily price chart featuring ascending channel pattern. Source: TradingView<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That being said, MATIC may attempt a break above the $2.44-resistance around the EIP-1559 upgrade on Jan. 18. The move would set itself on a course to test its interim upside target near $3, which is <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roximately a 30% jump.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related:\u00a0Polygon network activity spikes as NFT sales reach new height<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, if the EIP-1559 factor plays out any longer than anticipated, MATIC price may even attempt an extended run-up toward the 1.618 Fib line around $3.52. Conversely, a rejection at $2.44 could have Polygon retest the ascending channel support for a negative breakout.<\/p>\n<p>Such a move would risk invalidating the bullish setup, as discussed above. All of this is in conjunction with exposing MATIC to a correction toward $1.77 or lower.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post-content__disclaimer\">The views and opinions expressed here are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Cointelegraph.com.
