LINK Poised for 13% Decline, Here’s What’s Happening

Amid the ongoing uncertain cryptocurrency market sentiment, Chainlink (LINK) is poised for a price decline as it has formed a bearish price action pattern on its daily time frame.  In addition to LINK’s bearish outlook, its price has started declining alongside other major cryptocurrencies.

LINK Price Momentum

At press time, LINK is trading near the $10.52 level and has experienced a price decline of over 2.7% in the past 24 hours. During this period, its trading volume has dropped by 19%, indicating lower participation from traders and investors, potentially due to the bearish price action pattern.

LINK Technical Analysis and Upcoming Level

According to expert technical analysis, LINK has formed a bearish head-and-shoulder price action pattern on the daily time frame. Additionally, with the recent price drop it has broken its crucial descending trendline support, which has been in place since August 2024.

Based on the recent price momentum, if LINK breaches the neckline of this bearish pattern and closes a daily candle below the $10.30 level, there is a strong possibility that the asset could experience a 13% price decline, potentially reaching the $9 level in the coming days.

As of now, LINK is trading below the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) indicating a downtrend. Traders and investors often watch the 200 EMA when building positions, whether on the long or short side.
