An analysis of the LINK movement over a four-hour time frame showed a temporary drop of about 4% before recovery. This suggests that the recent asset release had a temporary impact on the price, but it quickly recovered.
With the current positive price recovery, LINK has the potential to reach $20 in the coming weeks. However, a price correction may take place before it resumes an upward trajectory and enters the $20 price range.
