Chainlink price prediction: Here's why LINK is gearing up for a 10% rally

  • Chainlink price shows signs of recovery from its recent decline after dropping from the $8.28 level.
  • A climb above the three Exponential Moving Averages will validate LINK's bullish thesis, flipping the resistance at $7.41 into support.
  • Invalidation of Chainlink's bullish thesis will occur if LINK price closes below the lower trendline at $6.90.

Chainlink (LINK) price is in a short-term uptrend; the asset is close to a key resistance level at $7.41. Although LINK has flipped this hurdle into a support floor previously, investors are awaiting a climb above key resistance to confirm the continuation of the uptrend.
