Chainlink Price Prediction: LINK hints at reversal after 25% crash

  • Chainlink price suggests a reversal could be coming as indicated by TD Sequential indicator’s buy signal.
  • A decisive close above 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level adds credence to bullish thesis.
  • Transactional data shows a stable demand barrier at $22.40 that could defend any downside move in LINK.

The Chainlink price seems primed for a reversal after selling pressure gets absorbed by a stable support level.

Chainlink price eyes higher high

The Chainlink price has been range-bound for almost a month. LINK’s recent move led to a 25% crash that found support on the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $24.18. 

Meanwhile, the Tom DeMark (TD) Sequential indicator flashed a buy signal in the form of a red nine candlestick on the 12-hour chart.

This signal suggests that the downtrend is likely to be exhausted and projects a one-to-four candlestick upswing for the Chainlink price. While the current candles show signs of reversal, a reliable confirmation will come when the green two candlestick closes above the green one.

A candlestick close above the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $26.93 will serve as a secondary confirmation. In that case, the Chainlink price will be primed for the next leg up, which could propel it by 11% toward the State Trend Support at $30.1.

Regardless of the bullish outlook, investors need to be wary about a move to the downside. If Chainlink’s price manages to slide below $21.18, it will result in a 6% downswing toward a crucial support level at $22.64, which coincides with the TD Sequential indicator’s State Trend Support.,

Interestingly, IntoTheBlock’s In/Out of the Money Around Price (IOMAP) model shows that nearly 12,800 addresses have purchased 4.25 million LINK tokens here.

The situation becomes bleak if the demand barrier at $22 fails. In such a case, the oracle token can be expected to slide at least 13% to another crucial level at $19.58.
