Chainlink Price Analysis as LINK Holds Above $12.00 Support

LINK Holds Range After Breakout and Quick Pullback

The coin on the 1-hour LINK/USD chart shows that there is an extended period of consolidation and then a strong breakout and a corrective pullback. During the period 22 nd to 27 th, there was a tight zone between $12.10 and $12.50 where the token was trading, and it created a good base.

Several higher lows and highs around the $12.15 to $12.20 region were indicative of continued demand, which meant the sellers were slowly losing the ropes, even though no strong upward movement was experienced.

Nonetheless, high overhead resistance led to a rapid pattern of reversal and the price retreated back to the zone of between $12.55 and $12.60. According to the last trading session, the token is trading around the value of $12.53, which is not an act of structural weakness, but a sign of weakening momentum.

Daily LINK Chart Shows Consolidation Around $12.50 Support

LINK has already reached a high around the $28-$30 zone and has since been in a long period of decline characterized by the low highs and lows up until September and October. In early October, a sharp decline with a high volume took the price below the range of 18 and set a strong bearish control.

The price has been in a sideways consolidation, ranging from $12.00 to $13.50, since November, with the current price standing at $12.50. The reduction in volume relative to the sell-off stage is an indication of less downside pressure and rising equilibrium.

The MACD chart has flattened around the zero line with marginally positive histogram values indicating the decline in bearish momentum. The token models indicate that, at $12.00, they have significant support, but at the upper end, the resistance is at $13.50-$14.00, which is needed as confirmation of the larger trend change.
