Chainlink Faces Downward Pressure After Failing to Break $18 Resistance

Chainlink (LINK) is experiencing a downturn after failing to break the $18 resistance, dropping over 16%. Key points include:

  • Technical analysis indicates potential retracement to lower demand levels.
  • Concerns of intensified selling pressure if broader market conditions remain uncertain.
  • Current price action suggests LINK may revisit support levels around $10.
  • Failure to hold above $17.50–$18 confirmed breakdown of bullish momentum.
  • Support zone identified between $14.80–$15.00; next major support at $13.20.

Recent volume increase suggests profit-taking and renewed selling interest. LINK must reclaim the $16 zone and close above the 200 EMA to restore bullish sentiment. The upcoming trading sessions are critical for determining its short-term trajectory.
