The crypto market has seen some drastic shift in sentiment, with Polygon (MATIC) and the price of other altcoins battling for survival after the news broke that Binance would not be taking over FTX and the company had gone bankrupt. Previous months saw the price of most altcoins trend higher as many produced gains of over 200%, with many hoping for more recovery bounce. Still, these expectations were cut short by the uncertainty surrounding the crypto market, leading to much fear about where the market is headed.

The current market uncertainty has caused traders and investors to be hesitant to purchase altcoins, as there is no guarantee that they will rise in value any time soon.

MATIC’s price declined to a weekly low of $0.77 before bouncing off this region, showing some great strength to a region of $0.97 as the price aims to break higher. The price of MATIC needs to be above $0.75 to avoid going to a lower region.   Weekly resistance for the price of MATIC – $1. Weekly support for the price of MATIC – $0.75. Price Analysis Of MATIC On The Daily (1D) Chart The price of MATIC remains considerably strong in the daily timeframe as the price trades above $0.8 support after bouncing off from the region of $0.95. If the price of MATIC breaks above $1, we could see more rallies for MATIC price; a break below a region of $0.75 would lead to more sell-offs for MATIC with a possibility of price trending to a region of $0.6.   Daily resistance for the MATIC price – $1. Daily support for the MATIC price – $0.75. Related Reading: Shiba Inu (SHIB) Ranks No. 1 In Top 5,000 ETH Whales’ Crypto Holdings Featured Image From zipmex, Charts From Tradingview

This Firm Offers 8 To 12 Cents On A Dollar Of FTX User Deposit Claims

The FTX crisis has escalated into a legal battle between bankrupt crypto exchanges and firms whose assets are stuck on its platform. Before FTX froze assets withdrawal, many crypto firms couldn’t recover their funds from the exchange. As a result, many firms have announced a potential financial crisis if their funds remain unrecovered. Several Users are in a panic due to their funds. However, the latest report revealed that Cherokee Acquisition, a distressed asset investment firm, has given users options to sell their credit claims. But the users can only recover a fraction of their total assets holdings. Related Reading: This Indicator Hints US Investors Sold Bitcoin Harder Than Others During Crash Cherokee Acquisition has a marketplace for credit claims against bankrupt companies like FTX Exchange. The firm placed a guide price on a dollar of FTX user’s deposit claims above $100,000 in the new price table released on November 15. The guide price is between 8 to 12 cents on every dollar of the deposit claims. This is an option for FTX’s creditors who cannot wait till the full resolution of the bankruptcy proceedings to recover their assets. Low Price indicates A Low Probability Of Retrieving User Credit Claims When a firm files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, impatient creditors may sell their credit claims to distressed asset investment companies like Cherokee Acquisition. The distressed assets investment funds place value on the credit claims so that while the creditors can recover parts of their assets, they too can make a profit after redeeming the allegations. However, Cherokee Acquisition’s guide price for the FTX credit claims is relatively low compared to what other bankrupt companies’ users may get. It suggests an almost zero probability for users to retrieve their funds. Celsius Network’s Earn account holders may receive about 20 cents on a dollar after selling their claims. Voyager Digital’s creditors may also get 40 cents on a dollar for their credit claims. Thomas Braziel, the managing partner at 507 Capital, a distressed corporate specialist firm, commented on the meager price tag of FTX’s credit claims. However, he said the price might be too high for potential buyers. According to Braziel, no one is buying the FTX credit claims at that price. Braziel highlighted that the best market price for the deposit claims to be between 3 and 5 cents. The FTX Crisis, How It Started, And How It’s Going FTX is a conglomerate of over 130 firms that filed for bankruptcy on Friday. The FTX issue began after the firm’s use of customers’ deposits for investing and lending without their approval came to light. The firm’s balance sheet also found a deficit of $10 billion. As a result, FTX went bankrupt with funds from large firms, such as Genesis Trading, Galois Capital, and Ikigai Asset Management, stuck on its platform.
