Cardano fell to an all-time low on Friday, as sentiment in crypto markets remained bearish in today’s session. The token fell for a third consecutive day, with prices moving below a key price floor in the process. Polygon also extended recent declines, hitting a multi-week low as a result.
Cardano (ADA) hit an all-time low in today’s session, as sentiment in cryptocurrency markets remains bearish, following recent economic data.
ADA/USD dropped to an intraday low of $0.2845 earlier in today’s session, less than a day after trading at $0.3026.
Today’s sell-off comes as cardano fell for a third straight session, breaking out of a key support point in the process.
Looking at the chart, the aforementioned floor is at the $0.3000 mark, which was broken once before, on November 21.
The 14-day relative strength index (RSI) also moved below a floor of 35.50, and as of writing is tracking at 30.91.
This is the lowest point the index has hit since October 22, with prices hitting a bottom of $0.3100 on that occasion.
Polygon (MATIC) was another notable token to fall today, with prices also moving lower for a third straight day.
Following a high of $0.891 on Thursday, MATIC/USD dropped to a bottom of $0.8483 earlier in the day.
As a result of this drop, polygon moved to its lowest point since November 30, when prices hit a bottom of $0.837
MATIC has since rebounded from earlier lows, and is currently trading at $0.8569, which is still nearly 4% lower than Thursday’s floor.
This slight rebound comes as the RSI rejected a breakout of a point of support at the 43.00 level, and the index is currently at the 44.26 mark.
Historically, bulls have used this floor as a point of reentry, and should this reoccur, then we could see MATIC move back towards the $0.90 level.

The accounting firm Mazars Group has stopped doing proof-of-reserves (POR) audits for cryptocurrency exchanges and the recently published Binance POR has been removed from the web. Mazars was conducting a number of POR audits for crypto exchanges like Binance, Crypto.com, and Kucoin following the FTX collapse last month.
Reports detailed on Dec. 16, 2022, that the accounting firm Mazars Group has paused doing POR audits for cryptocurrency exchanges. On Friday, a Binance spokesperson told CNBC that “Mazars has indicated that they will temporarily pause their work with all of their crypto clients globally, which include Crypto.com, Kucoin, and Binance.” The spokesperson added that “this means that we will not be able to work with Mazars for the moment.”
The news follows the recent criticism from Kraken’s Jesse Powell on Nov. 25, and when he denounced the Binance POR audited by Mazars on Dec. 8. Binance’s POR has been in the spotlight for quite some time and the company has been dealing with lots of speculation, rumors, and FUD. Furthermore, Binance experienced a significant amount of withdrawals on Dec. 13, as more than $3 billion in funds were withdrawn from the exchange.
While Mazars is not doing POR audits for crypto exchanges, for now, the company has seemingly removed Binance’s POR from the internet. The page now says the “server cannot be located” when someone attempts to visit the Mazars-published Binance audit. At the time of writing, Crypto.com’s audit is still on the web and has not been removed.
The Mazars POR audit drafted for the crypto exchange Kucoin is still live on the web as well. The difference between Crypto.com’s and Kucoin’s POR audits, compared to Binance’s POR audit, is that Crypto.com’s and Kucoin’s documents are hosted on their own websites. The Binance audit, completed on Nov. 22, 2022, at Bitcoin block height 764,327, was hosted solely on the Mazars website. At the time of writing, Mazars Group has not commented on the situation or explained why it stopped doing POR audits for crypto firms.
What do you think about Mazars not doing audits for crypto companies and seemingly removing Binance’s recent POR audit from the internet? Let us know what you think about this subject in the comments section below.
