At the time of writing, 49,46% addresses are in a state of “loss” (OTM). This means that the MATIC price is now relatively lower than the average cost at which it was purchased. On the other hand, only 38,78% total addresses are profitable (green). The remaining 11,76% (white) is at breakeven. Therefore, waiting for profits to increase before cashing out would be a better option for HODLer at the moment.
One of the reasons profits are shrinking could be a decrease in the number of active traders. The MATIC Marketplace had over 53.94k traders in May and has dropped to 44.4k at press time. However, a significant increase in the number of long-term traders and HODLers made up for this drop.
