A Brief T.A of ChainLink (LINK)
Revisiting the daily LINK/USDT chart reveals that ChainLink has lost several crucial support zones between $13 and $11. At the time of writing, the $10.50 price area is offering short term support. If this were to break, LINK could well be on a path to visit the crucial $8.80 support zone which also was the last ‘organic’ all-time high value set before LINK marines answered the calls to liquidate Zeus Capital.
Also from the daily LINK/USDT chart above, the following can be observed.
- Trade volume is in the red but reducing and could hint of possible consolidation
- The 100-day moving average provides some support around the $9.50 – $10 price area
- The daily MACD is still in bear territory. However, its histograms hint of reduced selling
- MFI is in neutral territory at a value of $45
Conclusion
Summing it up, in the last three months, ChainLink has pumped hard from a value of around $4 to a new all-time high slightly above $20. During the same time period, ChainLink whales have added 18.6 Million LINK tokens to their bags. This could indicate that LINK has a bright future ahead.
Additionally, Timothy Peterson of Cane Island Alternative Advisors, postulates that LINK could close the year at a value of $20.
A brief technical analysis hints at a possible consolidation of LINK above the $10 psychological price level.
