Tech View by Giottus Crypto Platform
Chainlink (LINK) – the altcoin that integrates off-chain data into smart contracts, has been fairly bullish amidst the crypto market’s recent recovery. It protected its 2022 low, and was amongst the quickest to establish a market structure change with a 10% rise between Tuesday and Wednesday. Now, it is trading around the $6.75 mark.
As long as it holds the $6.75 level, bullish sentiment should continue as this also happens to be well above .236 retracement level of $6.45 from its crash after the FTX blowup.
There’s a confluence of the .382 retracement level and the 50-day moving average around the $7 mark, which LINK can target next. With its current rise, it has also signaled a market structure change on the higher time frames (such as the 4H). Some consolidation here will allow for indicators such as the RSI to cool off.
With macro factors scheduled for this week, there can be volatility in the markets until 30 November. Should LINK dip, support at $6 and $5.9 would be good opportunities to accumulate for the short to medium term.
Major Levels
Resistance: $7, $7.5, $8
Support: $6, $5.9
