LINK is currently rising from channel support and trading above $ 22.00. It has even passed the $ 23.00 level and it appears the bulls are aiming for a new test of the $ 25.00 level. Further gains could open the doors for a move towards $ 26.50.
Fresh drop?
If chainlink’s price does not rise above the USD 24.00 level, there could be another drop. Initial support on the downside is near the USD 22.50 level.
Further losses below the $ 22.50 level could potentially move the price towards channel support. A break in channel support could jeopardize the $ 20.00 support in the short term.
