  • The LINK price has been discounted by 50% from the previous swing high of $28.5. The token buyers show strong interest in the current market value($16.28), displaying long lower price rejection in the technical chart. 
  • The daily-Relative Strength index(34) recovered from the oversold region challenges the 14-SMA line. However, more buying pressure would be required for successful crossover above the midline.

This week the LINK price action showed a whipsaw movement between the $16.75 and $13.57. Such minor consolidation avails a recovery opportunity for buyers once the coin pump above the overhead resistance.

However, the downside risks are substantial as a shift sell-off could violate the bottom support of $13.57, leading to further downsizing.

Bollinger band indicator moving sideways completely engulfs this week’s price action. The token price moving higher to the middle line aims to retest the $16.75 resistance.

  • Resistance levels- $16.75, $21
  • Support levels are $13.57 and $11.5.
