The year 2022 seems to be highly bearish for LINK/USDT pair as the market value fell drastically over the months. The downfall created a lower high formation learning to the resistance trendline of the bearish wedge pattern. 

The increased selling experienced all over the crypto market led to a high-momentum bear cycle within the pattern resulting in the support trendline breakout. However, the breakout rally struggles a follow-through below $6.32, resulting in LINK price to follow a sideways shift that retests the broken trendline. 

The lack of bearish follow-through and the extended consolidation teases a recovery rally ready to undermine the fallout. Hence, a relief rally drive the LINK price to the resistance trendline close to the $12 mark.

If the post-retest rally leads to the bearish breakout of the consolidation range, LINK traders can find the $6.32 breakout as an entry spot. And in such a case, the downslide can drive the market value to the psychological barrier of the $5 mark.
