Chainlink [LINK] is showing signs of a potential bullish breakout, with its symmetrical triangle pattern suggesting a significant price surge if the $16 resistance is breached. At the time of writing, LINK was trading at $13.42, reflecting a 3.07% increase over the past 24 hours, according to Coingecko.
A clear symmetrical triangle pattern has formed on the weekly chart, spanning from the $22.87 high on March 11th to the $11.01 low on July 1st. This pattern indicates a high likelihood of a bullish breakout.
Crypto analyst Ali on X (formerly Twitter) noted that the TD Sequential indicator has presented a buy signal on the 4-hour chart, further bolstering the bullish sentiment. If LINK can break through the $16 resistance level, a surge of up to 143% is anticipated, potentially driving the price to around $37.278.
This potential breakout could signify a major upward movement for Chainlink, reflecting strong market interest and confidence.
Technical Analysis and Resistance Levels
Throughout Q1 and Q2, LINK has faced resistance at the $13.66 level, extending the correction move to the trendline support at $12.08. Recently, LINK bounced off this support and traded higher at $13.42, aligning with key moving averages (EMA 20/50/100/200). If these levels hold, LINK could rally by 27.6% to retest the weekly resistance at $16.22.
Currently, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart has dipped just below the 50 mid-line, while the Awesome Oscillator (AO) is following suit. For a bullish comeback, both indicators need to stay above their mean levels. A sustained rise in these indicators would provide a strong boost to the recovery rally, potentially leading LINK towards the $16.22 resistance level.
Potential Downside and Key Price Levels
Despite the bullish outlook, if LINK’s price closes below $11.04 on the weekly chart, it could invalidate the bullish theme. This scenario would create a lower low, potentially causing LINK’s price to decline by 60.9% to retest its weekly lows of $4.996 from June 19th, 2023.
