There is also a key contracting triangle forming with resistance near $13.50 on the 4-hours chart of the LINK/USD pair. The triangle resistance coincides with the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $14.25 swing high to $12.50 swing low.
A clear break above the $13.50 resistance zone might increase the chances of a sharp upward move above $14.00. The next key resistance is at $14.25, above which the price might rise towards $15.50 and $16.20.
Downsides Supported?
An initial support for chainlink’s price is near the $13.05 and $13.0 levels. The first major support is forming near the $12.80 level and the triangle lower trend line.
If there is a downside break and close below the triangle support zone, the price could revisit $12.50. Any more losses may possibly start a strong downward move below $12.00 and $11.80.
