LINK Price Analysis: Chainlink Expects Huge Move Upon Breaking Symmetrical Triangle

Yaz Sheikh Jan 31, 2021 19:19
Chainlink is down 2% over the past 24 hours, forming a huge symmetrical triangle. Against Bitcoin, LINK found support at 0.0006 BTC last Friday and since then, pushed higher.

LINK/USD: Short Term Symmetrical Triangle

Key Support Levels: $22.4, $22, $20.77.

Key Resistance Levels: $24, $24.70, $25.65.

LINK started the past week following a strong bullish momentum as it surged to a new ATH price of $25.65 on Monday. However, it failed to close a daily candle above resistance at $24.85 and started to head lower from there.

By Wednesday, LINK had dropped into the support at $20.77, the previous ATH Price. It rebounded from there and spiked back above $26 but could not close a daily candle above $23.70 as of yesterday. It had since dropped slightly towards $22, where it trades as of writing these lines.

Looking at the 4-hour chart, LINK is trapped within a short term symmetrical triangle pattern. The next direction is likely to take place upon breakout. In case of a bullish breakout, the first target is likely to be the current ATH.

LINK-USD Short Term Price Prediction

Looking ahead, the first level of resistance lies at the upper boundary of the short term symmetrical triangle, at around $24. This is followed by $24.70 (1.272 Fib Extension), $25.65 (ATH), $26, $26.67 (1.414 Fib Extension).

On the other side, the first support lies at the lower boundary of the triangle, around $22.40. This is followed by $22, $20.77 (previous ATH), $20, and $19.05 (.5 Fib).

The daily RSI revealed some signs of bearish divergence, which might be playing out right now. This would result in the breakout of the triangle toward the downside if true.
