Key points: 

  • LINK price shows long-wick rejection candle at wedge pattern resistance trendline
  • The midline of the Bollinger band indicator gives dynamic support to coin price
  • The intraday trading volume in the LINK coin is $630.4 Billion, indicating a 90% gain.

Since last month the LINK/USDT pair has surged 46.8% and breached the in-between resistance of $7.3 and $8. However, the bullish rally is resonating inside an ascending wedge pattern which in theory encourages a significant correction.

However, as of today, the LINK price currently trades at $8.76, with an intraday gain of 2.%. Though the coin chart shows a 90% jump in volume, the long wick rejection candle at the wedge pattern’s resistance trendline hints at another correction.

The bearish reversal may tumble the altcoin by 6% and plunge it to aligned support of the rising trendline and $8 psychological level. If the sellers break this confluence support, the wedge pattern may get triggered and dump the coin price below the $7.166 support.

On a contrary note, if the LINK price continues to rise within this pattern, it will soon reach the $9.31 neckline resistance of the rounding bottom pattern. A bullish breakout from $9.31 will offset the wedge pattern and release the altcoin from a long correction.
