Chainlink Price Forecast Q4: Bullish momentum hints at a 25% rally for LINK

  • Chainlink price on the weekly time frame looks indecisive as it hovers around the 20-week SMA.
  • On the three-day chart, LINK has tagged the range low at $5.70, hinting at a potential bounce.
  • The daily chart shows a clear bullish divergence, adding credence to the short-term bullish outlook. 
  • Investors can expect the Oracle token to trigger a northbound move between 25% to 30%.

Chainlink price could trigger a rally on the daily and three-day time frame, while the outlook of the higher weekly time frame remains indecisive. Investors should pay attention to on-chain metrics that could show whales starting to buy the dip for the LINK token.

Chainlink Weekly Price Forecast: No directional bias

Chainlink price has been hovering around the 20-week Simple Moving Average (SMA) for more than a year. During this consolidation phase, LINK price has set up multiple lower lows while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Awesome Oscillator (AO) have produced higher lows. 

This non-conformity is also termed a bullish divergence. The technical formation indicates an increasing buyer momentum that has not yet been reflected in the underlying asset’s price. Hence, a resolution of this pattern often results in a bullish move.

But as long as LINK remains under the 20-week SMA at $6.502, the chances of a prolonged uptrend are slim.

Chainlink Three-day Price Forecast: LINK holders can expect profits soon

The three-day chart for Chainlink price shows that it has been hovering between the $5.700 and $9.623 barriers. For the past year, every time LINK slipped below the range low, buyers have stepped in, triggering a recovery rally.

At the time of writing, Chainlink price is hovering around $6.066. A bounce from the current position could send LINK up by 30% to tag the $7.919 hurdle signaled by the Momentum Reversal Indicator (MRI). 

In a highly bullish case, LINK could extend the gains from 30% to 57% by retesting the range high at $9.623.

Chainlink Daily Price Forecast: Conservative outlook

Chainlink price on the daily chart shows a breakout from the bullish divergence that has resulted in a 3.35% run-up between September 1 and 5. The MRI indicator’s resistance barrier at $7.636 is the next critical hurdle, which is roughly 25% away from the current price level.

Despite a bullish outlook on the weekly, three-day and daily timeframes, investors need to note that the 20-week SMA at $6.502 will be a critical resistance level. Clearing this key hurdle will allow LINK bulls to extend their rally. Failure to do so could result in a steep 15% correction to the three-day support floor at $5.242. 

A breakdown of this foothold at $5.242 on the weekly or the three-day chart, followed by a decisive candlestick close below it, will invalidate the bullish outlook. This move would produce a lower low and potentially knock Chainlink price down by 40% to the next key support at $3.030.
