- Chainlink price experiences deep pullback, giving buyers another discount.
- A bullish Point and Figure setup presents a low risk, high reward trade possibility.
- Downside risks remain but should be limited.

Chainlink price pulls back from monster rally, giving buyers a re-entry opportunity
Chainlink price remains very bullish despite the current down drive. On Chainlink’s $0.50/3-box reversal Point and Figure chart, the prior X-column represented a 29% increase after breaking out above a triple-top. The current pattern was just shy of creating a Spike Pattern; instead, it has developed a Pole Pattern.
The entry rule on a Pole Pattern that has made its retracement is to enter on the 3-box reversal with a 4-box stop loss. At the time of publication, the hypothetical long setup for Chainlink price is a buy stop order at $22.50, a stop loss at $20.50, and a profit target at $35.00. This trade setup provides a 6.5:1 reward for the risk trade setup.
However, be aware that the current O-column can continue to move lower. That means the hypothetical buy stop for Chainlink price would also move lower – the 4-box stop loss and profit target remain the same. A two to three-box trailing stop would help protect any implied profit post entry.
For example, if the current O-column were to move lower by five boxes to $18.00, the hypothetical buy stop entry would be at $19.50 and the stop loss at $17.50 while the profit target remains at $35.00.
