LINK/USD Daily Chart
As seen on the daily chart, a recovery ensued when Chainlink (LINK) bounced off the MA 50 support at $12.02. The bulls managed to push the price back above $13 to highs of $14.91 where a barrier was met. If the bears sink the price back below $13, it may suggest a bearish sentiment. A break and close beneath the MA 50 at $12.31 could start a deeper correction towards the prior week’s low at $11.28.
Further selling pressure may cause LINK to retest its October lows of $8.35. On the flip side, if the bulls push the price above $14.91, LINK/USD could rally back to $16.42 and then $20. The RSI just above the midpoint does not give a clear advantage either to the bulls or the bears.

LINK/USD 4-Hour Chart
On the 4-hour chart, bears mounted a stiff resistance at the $15 region which saw the price turning southwards. The bulls however swung in to defend the $13 level as a slight rebound occurred, pushing LINK to its present price. If the bears succeed in sinking price beneath $13, LINK may retest the 4-hour MA 200 at $12.72. A further breach may cause LINK to seek the next buyer congestion zone between $12 and $10.
On the upside, a breach beyond $15 would cement buyers’ position in the market and may create enough volumes for a rally towards $16 and $20. The LINK/USD pair is only bullish while trading above the $13.5 level, key resistance is found at the $15 and the $16 levels. If the LINK/USD pair trades below the $13, sellers may test the $12 and $11 support levels.
