LINK/USD Daily Chart
After consolidating at around $25 in the latter part of January, Chainlink’s climb to highs of $27 on Feb 5 was followed by a pullback. Based on previous antecedents, Chainlink price gains have always been punctuated by a period of consolidation or minor pullback. The recent rejection at $28.64 unveiled fresh support at $25.25. LINK/USD must avoid a fall beneath this level to avoid a steep correction.
A brief consolidation may ensue and LINK may be forced to revisit support at $23 and the MA 50 located at $19.25. On the contrary, If the price rises from the current levels and breaks above $28.64, the LINK/USD pair may rally to $30 and then $33. The RSI just above the midline still has room for further growth.

LINK/USD 4-Hour Chart
LINK began its upward climb after it hit support at $25.25. LINK is seeking to extend its bullish leg past the barrier at $28.64, reaching intraday highs of $28.58. A sustained breach beyond $28.64 holds the key to LINK uptrend eyeing $30. On the contrary, if the price turns down due to the resistance at $28.64, LINK sits atop of robust support located at the 4-hour MA 50 ($25.73).
However, losing this key support level would be a breakdown capable of pushing Chainlink’s price down to the MA 200 support at $22.02 and then $20. The LINK/USD pair is only bullish while trading above the $25 level, key resistance is found at the $28.64 and the $30 levels.
