Chainlink (LINK) rallied over 30% and it traded close to the $17.000 level against the US Dollar. It dethroned bitcoin cash and moved to the 5th spot in terms of the market cap.

  • Chainlink token price is gaining momentum and it broke the $16.500 resistance against the US dollar.
  • The market cap jumped sharply and LINK moved to the 5th spot to overtake bitcoin cash.
  • There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance near $13.300 on the 4-hours chart of the LINK/USD pair (data source from Kraken).

An initial support on the downside is near the $16.200 level. The first major support is likely forming near the $15.80 level. It is close to the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent surge from the $12.192 swing low to $16.933 high.

The main support is now near the $14.500 level (the recent breakout zone). It coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent surge from the $12.192 swing low to $16.933 high.

On the upside, the $17.000 level is a short-term resistance zone. If there are more upsides, there is an open space and the price might even test the $20.000 level in the coming sessions.

Dips Supported

In the short-term, there could be a minor downside correction in LINK price towards the $16.200 support. If there are more losses, the $15.800 support is likely to act as a strong buy zone.

A downside break below the $14.500 could only start a major downward move. The next key support is near the $12.20 level.
