LINK price above $8.000. Source:
The first major support on the downside is near the $7.200 and $7.150 levels. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent rally from the $5.729 low to $8.530 high. More importantly, there is a major bullish trend line forming with support at $7.000 on the 4-hours chart of the LINK/USD pair.
If chainlink token price stays above the $7.200 and $7.000 support levels, it could start a fresh increase. An initial resistance is near the $8.200 and $8.500 levels. A clear break above the $8.500 level might open the doors for a push towards the $10.00 barrier in the coming days.
Dips Remain Supported
If LINK price corrects lower, the bulls are likely to protect the $7.200 and $7.000 support levels. A successful close below the $7.000 support might push the price into a major correction phase.
In the mentioned case, the price could revisit the $6.400 support level (the recent breakout zone). Any further losses may perhaps start a bearish wave towards the $5.000 level.
