And just like that…LINK bullish triangle reactivates again with 30% rally underway in Chainlink

  • Chainlink price sees bulls delivering a knock-out punch to bears on Wednesday with a 7% lethal kick.
  • LINK trades back in a bullish triangle that this time could be successful.
  • With tailwinds behind it, LINK could movetoward $9.52 and test the high from summer 2022.

Chainlink (LINK) price is trading once again in a bullish pattern that earlier broke down after a false break and very harsh rejection from bears. In early February LINK  price action tanked lower as bulls were afraid of getting trapped in a trade heading nowhere. With more tailwinds appearing as support, crypto traders are in the front row trying to reenter the price action to be part of a rally that could swing as high as 30%.

On its path of recovery, Chainlink set to erase a half year of losses

Chainlink price performed a dropkick move on Wednesday that every MMA fighter would be jealous of. A brutal 7% kick to the upside resulted in a break above the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). Additionally, the ascending side of a bullish triangle was broken to the upside and took out quite a substantial amount of bearish volume. Expect a further continuation toward $7.50 near the triangle's base for a test to see if this rally holds more ground.

Once LINK can break and close above that $7.50 level, expect a massive wave of buying, with the buy-side demand exploding and price action ramping up quite quickly. This is a classic breakout trade that investors will gladly join. Expect a gradual rally higher toward $9.52 as the ultimate take-profit level in the coming weeks.

As markets advance, that does not mean the tail risks are going away just as easily. Inflation could still pick up, and markets could be wrong-footed on the assumption that the Federal will cut rates later this year. A wave of layoffs or continued housing price declines could also trigger a sell-off in the market, so beware. Add geopolitics in there, and the tail risks are far from over. $6.60 remains a key pivot level for support.
