Over the following 10 days, Chainlink’s price continued to push upwards in a slow ascent that formed an ascending triangle. The LINK price action is trending steadily above the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, reinforcing the bullish narrative.

The asset broke out of the ascending triangle on May 27, pushing higher. According to the rules of technical analysis concerning the ascending triangle, the LINK price may rise and touch $22.

What’s Causing Chainlink Price Revival?

The Chainlink price surge coincides with a May 16 announcement from the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) the biggest settlement and clearinghouse in the U.S. The report revealed that the government agency is working with Chainlink on a blockchain pilot project. 

Named the Smart NAV Pilot, this project aims to create a standardized method for offering the net asset value of tokenized funds across blockchains using Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP).

The successful results mean that RWA and asset tokenization of things like mutual funds have become easier and much much more efficient (cost savings). Also, the Ethereum ETF approval news could have played a crucial part as most Ethereum coins pumped. 

These with the news of Chainlink co-presenting with Swift in the Consensus 2024 have left investors optimistic.

The price of Chainlink has retested the top of the ascending triangle, a confirmation pattern for a bullish continuation trend. 

Up ahead, LINK price may expect to meet with key resistance points around the $18, $19, and $20 pivot points. 

In an inverse scenario, Chainlink price may find support lower around the 50-day SMA ($17), the 200-day SMA ($15), and the $14 and $13 pivot points. These would all serve as points for price action to bounce off and move higher,

Bottom Line

This bullish Chainlink price momentum comes amidst a broader crypto market correction where the entire crypto market cap shed off 1.61% of its value. Chainlink’s resilience could be a sign of its underlying strength and potential for future growth.
