Chainlink Price: Trends and Highlights for August 6
Current Pattern
Since July 7, LINK has been trading inside the descending wedge outlined below.
The descending wedge is considered a bullish pattern, making price breakouts more likely.
At the time of writing it was trading right on the support line.
This is the fifth time the line has been touched, increasing its validity.
Additionally, we can see that the Chainlink price has been following a long-term ascending support line since May 13.
Furthermore, using a Fibonacci retracement tool that encompasses the entire upward move, we can see that the price is currently at the 0.618 fib level, making this a suitable place for the beginning of a reversal.
Will the price do so?
Let’s take a look at some technical indicators.
Bullish Divergence
A look at the RSI suggests that the price will soon begin an upward move towards resistance.
While the Chainlink price has touched the descending support line on Aug. 2 and 6, the RSI has been generating higher values.
This divergence is visible in time-frames up to 12-hours.
A look at the daily moving averages (MA) gives a more ambiguous point of view.
A bearish cross between the 10- and 20-day MAs transpired on July 15.
LINK has been facing resistance from the MAs ever since.
However, the price is trading above the 100-day MA, possibly finding support above it.
The combination of these indicators and previous price movement that created a bullish pattern makes us believe that the price will soon move towards the resistance line of the wedge.
Eventually, a breakout seems likely.
