Chainlink (LINK) Technical Analysis and Upcoming Levels According to expert technical analysis, LINK is currently facing strong resistance near $29 and is attempting to breach this level. With significant institutional interest, crypto whales, and trader confidence, there is a strong possibility it could break through this level in the coming days. Source: Trading View Based on the recent price action, if LINK breaches this level and closes a candle above $29.50, there is a strong possibility it could initially soar by 20% to reach the next resistance level of $35, and later surge by 80% to reach the $52.50 level, which is its all-time high. However, traders and investors need to understand that LINK has significantly stretched on both the weekly and daily time frames. There is also a possibility of a price correction during the upcoming rally, which could provide support for LINK in its bull run.
