What the LINK/USDT Chart Says
From a macro point of view – the weekly chart – Chainlink is still very much in a downtrend. The weekly MACD is about to cross in a bearish manner and its histograms indicate a continual level of selling since mid-August. Trade volume is also in the red further suggesting that the bounce predicted by the team at Santiment might just be temporary.
Also from the chart, it can be observed that ChainLink’s previous all-time high of $8.80 set in mid-July, is currently acting as strong support for LINK. At the time of writing, LINK is trading at the $8.88 price area with a slight possibility of the digital asset attempting to reclaim $9 or even the $10 psychological support in the days to follow.

Too many similarities between $LINK & $NKLA. Trevor Milton stepped down as a chairman of Nikola; Steve Ellis (Chainlink's CTO) hasn't been seen for a while.
