Chainlink price eyes 10% gains

Chainlink (LINK) price is up almost 65% since September 11, with the move sending LINK past a weekly fair value gap (FVG) extending from $10.100 to $10.743. At the time of writing, the market value of LINK is $11.319, with prospects for more gains given momentum is still increasing. Further, with a second layer of weekly FVG still existing from $12.333 to $13.153, the cryptocurrency experiences a constant pull north to fill the imbalance.

Increased buying pressure above current levels, therefore, could send Chainlink price north to test the lower boundary of this order block at $12.333. Further north, the gains could see LINK breach its midline at $12.719 to confirm the continuation of the rally.

In a highly bullish case, Chainlink price could break past the FVG and foray past the $14.000 and $16.000 psychological levels to test the supply zone order block. Such a move would constitute a 40% climb above current levels.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) supports this outlook, with its position above 50, specifically at 72 showing bulls are leading the LINK market. The Awesome Oscillator (AO) indicators are also in the positive territory, with green histogram bars to show bulls are leading the market.

There is also a significant rise in whale transaction count, with the engagement among large holders acting as a bullish sign for the cryptocurrency.

Conversely, a rejection from the FVG, provoked by early profit taking could send Chainlink price south, dropping below the support offered by the current order block, confirmed by a slip through the $10.000 psychological level. In a highly bullish case, the slump could see LINK drop below $8.148 back into the consolidation phase or worse, extend a leg down to the $5.565 support floor. Such a move would constitute a 50% fall below the current price.
