Chainlink continues to hold above key support levels, leaving the broader market cautiously optimistic. Despite the recent indecisive candles, the setup suggests that one strong bullish move can quickly shift sentiment and revive momentum toward higher targets.
Chainlink faces mixed signals as the monthly candle closes bearishly
In his Chainlink daily technical prospectscrypto analyst CryptoWzrd started reviewing the higher timeframes and noted that the monthly candle for LINK closed somewhat bearish. Moreover, the LINK/BTC pair closed its monthly candle indecisively, reflecting a lack of clear momentum against Bitcoin. Meanwhile, the daily candles closed indecisively for both, setting an ambiguous tone for the short term.
CryptoWzrd emphasizes that the LINK/BTC pair must move higher to inject meaningful momentum. For this to happen, LINK/BTC must hold above the BTC resistance level at $0.000170, which would generate the initial bullish sentiment needed for Chainlink to rise to the first major target.
If the necessary bullish sentiment is secured, the altcoin is expected to be pushed towards the daily resistance target of $20. The analyst emphasizes that achieving a healthy bullish breakout above $20 is the critical event that will trigger the next major upward rally and confirm a stronger directional trend.
On the other hand, CryptoWzrd identifies the $16 level as the key daily support for the current structure. This price must hold to avoid a deeper correction that would jeopardize current bullish objectives.
The analyst has stated that his focus for the near future will shift to the lower time frame chart formations tomorrow. This micro analysis will be critical in identifying the best scalp opportunities as the market continues to consolidate near these critical structural levels.
Choppy intraday action keeps traders on their toes
CryptoWzrd went further and revealed that LINK’s intraday chart was choppy and slow, reflecting the bearishness in the market. Despite the lack of strong momentum, the price still remains above the USD 16.90 level, which remains a positive sign for the bulls in the short term. Also, the analyst emphasized that further upside move is needed to confirm a constructive chart formation and create a potential long opportunity.
Without that breakout, the structure remains vulnerable and traders may have trouble finding reliable entry points for bullish setups. A drop below $16.90 could trigger a deeper decline, putting additional pressure on Chainlink. CryptoWzrd concluded that patience remains key in navigating the current indecisive phase as it is best to wait for the next clear signal or trade setup before making any major moves.
