Chainlink Price Forecast: How LINK’s 7% Surge Could Spark $50-Bound Rally
  • LINK surged by an epic 9.58% today as the price rises into the $4.120 level. 
  • The cryptocurrency was previously struggling to break $4.00 for the past 2-weeks.

ChainLink saw an enormous 10% price surge today as the cryptocurrency manages to rise above $4.00 and reach the $4.20 level. LINK had been rising all throughout April as it increased from the $2.00 to reach as high as $4.00. However, over the past 2-weeks, the coin struggled to break above $4.00.

The 10% surge today allowed LINK to break above this critical resistance and put it back on the strong bullish footing. LINK is now ranked in the 13th position as it currently holds a $1.45 billion market cap valuation.

Short term prediction: BULLISH

LINK is most certainly still bullish and would need to drop back beneath $4.00 to turn neutral. It would have to fall further beneath $3.00 to turn bearish again.

If the sellers push lower, the first level of support lies at $4.00. Beneath this, support is located at $3.67 (.236 Fib Retracement), $3.50, and $3.35 (.382 Fib Retracement). This is followed by strong support at $3.20 (100-days EMA), and $3.09 (.5 Fib Retracement).

On the other hand, the first level of strong resistance is located at $4.24 (bearish .786 Fib Retracement). Above this, resistance lies at $4.28 (1.272 Fib Extension), $4.38 (1.414 Fib Extension), and $4.59 (bearish .886 Fib Retracement).

Key Levels

Support: $4.00, $3.80, $3.67, $3.35, $3.20, $3.09.
