Chainlink price faces a battle between bears and bulls to determine the next trend
Chainlink price is pitted against a powerful inflection point at the $29 level. This is the final, primary support zone for Chainlink before a swift drop to the $20 value area would occur. However, any attempt to move below the $29 level should be challenging.
The 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, Senkou Span B and a high volume node share the $29 value area. Additionally, the oscillators confirm that support should be strong – and that a bullish reversal may be likely.
The Relative Strength Index is at the second oversold level in a bull market (40) while printing hidden bullish divergence. Likewise, the Composite Index has printed hidden bullish divergence at a historical support level. Finally, the Optex Bands oscillator adds to the likelihood of support holding because it is positioned at extreme oversold levels.
