Chainlink (LINK) is Facing Hurdles
This past week, we saw a sharp rise in chainlink (LINK) above the $8.50 and $9.00 resistance levels against the US Dollar. The price remained well bid after it settled above the $9.00 pivot level.
There was also a break above the 50% Fib retracement level of the key decline from the $13.30 swing high to $7.32 low. However, LINK price ran into a significant resistance at $11.00 and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours).
It seems like price is struggling to clear the last breakdown zone at $10.50 and $11.00. The 61.8% Fib retracement level of the key decline from the $13.30 swing high to $7.32 low is also acting as a strong resistance for the bulls.

The price is currently correcting lower (similar to bitcoin and ethereum) and trading below $10.00. There is a key bullish flag forming with resistance near $10.45 on the 4-hours chart of the LINK/USD pair.
If there is an upside break above the channel resistance and $10.50, there are high chances of a sharp increase above the $11.00 resistance zone. In the stated case, the price could rally towards the $12.50 and $13.20 resistance levels.
Fresh Decline?
If chainlink’s price fails to clear the $10.50 resistance and stays below the 100 simple moving average (4-hours), there is a risk of a sharp decline.
An initial support on the downside is near the channel lower trend line at $9.40 level. The main support is near the $9.00 level, below which there are real chances of a drop towards the $7.50 level in the near term.
