One trader is noting that LINK does still face heavy resistance around $16.00, which may result in it forming a trading range between roughly $14 and $16 in the days and weeks ahead.
Another trader is offering a more optimistic outlook on the cryptocurrency, explaining that although it does face some resistance, he expects the strong support just below its current price to act as a launchpad that sends Chainlink up towards $19.00. This would allow it to erase nearly all of the losses that have come about as a result of its recent weakness. In order for this possibility to come to fruition, LINK must continue holding above $13.50.Chainlink Starts Forming Trading Range as Bulls Defend Mid-$13.00 Region
At the time of writing, Chainlink is trading up nearly 4% at its current price of $14.60. This is around the price at which it has been trading throughout the past few days.
It has dipped as low as $13.50 on a few occasions throughout the past week, but each break below $14.00 has proven to be highly fleeting and followed by an immediate rebound. This is leading one analyst to that a trading range may be forming, with the support being the lower boundary and Chainlink’s near-term resistance at $16.00 being the upper boundary.“$16 was a clear resistance zone as discussed a few days ago. Looking for a scenario like this as we’re constructing a range here,” he said while pointing to the range marked on the below chart.

Here’s How High LINK May Rally if Bulls Defend $13.50
Another analyst that he could see Chainlink pushing up towards $19.00 in the near-term, but this strength would be invalidated if it breaks below $13.50.
“If we lose the low at $13.50 before taking the first swing high denoted with the ‘X’, it’s likely we are going to see one more leg down as a ‘wash out’ before we get this leg up I was anticipating. Consider $13.50 the invalidation point for this idea (in the short term),” he explained.
