Whales Looking To Buy Cheap?

The transfers were made in two spells with a gap of around three hours, as per on chain data.
“2 whales transferred a total of 13.67M $MATIC ($15.3M) to Binance.”

As of writing, the Polygon price (MATIC) stands at $1.13, down 1.40% in the last 24 hours, according to CoinGape price tracker. CoinGape recently signaled chances of MATIC potential downfall leading to 7% dip to reach the $1.05 level.
