LINK/USD Elliott Wave technical analysis – Daily chart

  • Function: Counter Trend.

  • Mode: Corrective.

  • Structure: Double Corrective.

  • Position: Wave 2.

  • Invalidation level: Not defined.

Chainlink trading strategy

In the previous wave I, the price formed an Expanded Diagonal pattern, peaking at $17.97. The retracement wave II formed a Double Zigzag structure, touching the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level at $11.43.
Now, the price is bouncing back in wave (1) and may currently be in a retracement phase with wave (2) before entering an uptrend in wave (3).
The critical resistance lies around $16.00, which serves as the Bullish Confirmation Level. A break above this level could validate a mid-term upward movement.

Trading strategy highlights

Swing Trading (Short-term):

  • Wait for the completion of the wave (2) consolidation.
  • Look to enter during wave (3), which could have increased momentum.

Risk management:

  • Watch the Invalidation Level near $10.80 to manage downside risk.
