Why is MATIC Price Going Up?
Multiple Collaborations & Partnerships
The Polygon network has been actively expanding its business irrespective of the MATIC price movements. The platform announced 3 big partnerships in the recent past including Disney, Nothing Phone and Flipkart’s Firedrops & the project announced its zkEVM launch.
Polygon’s zkEVM Announcement is the driving force behind Matic’s value surge
What is zkEVM?
Polygon works on the Proof of Stake consensus mechanism. Polygon relies on the Ethereum blockchain for verification of transactions by commits which is also referred to as commit chain. The zK roll-up of Polygon will enable the participants to transact without revealing the transaction data which is why it is called Zero-Knowledge roll-ups. These transactions will be verified in batches. Polygon Hermez is the open-source zk roll-up technology.
What are the other factors that drove Polygon Matic Price Surge?

- The asset during the last trading day jumped notably high but underwent a rejection as it achieved 0.78 FIB levels

Polygon Price Prediction: Will MATIC Reach INR 200?
Polygon price currently appears to be on a path of a strong recovery and hence the bullish momentum may prevail for a long time. The price after surging by nearly 30% is facing a minor pullback which is preventing the price to smash the immediate resistance above INR 80. However, the price is expected to maintain a strong uptrend ahead and hence the prices could continue ranging towards the north.
As huge buying pressure has mounted up, the possibilities of huge corrections are also fewer. Therefore, the MATIC price is expected to continue coiling up as the bulls regain their power and eventually uplift the price above INR 100. Continuing with the same momentum, the asset may trade very close to INR 200 by the end of July until mid-July.
