Chainlink price: What to expect from Chainlink?

Chainlink price has left the ascending channel it has been trading inside of since yesterday. The price initially declined but then came to a rest at the $13.00 level, which shows strong pressure from the buyers preventing the price from falling any further. However, LINK faces strong resistance in crossing above the $14.00 level.

If LINK stays above the $13.00 level for the next few hours, the buyers can be expected to initiate a bullish rally above the $14.00 level. However, if LINK falls below the $13.00 level, Chainlink may fall to the $12.00 price level and further below to support level at $11.00.

Litecoin price across the weekly charts

Across the weekly frames, Chainlink price continues its consolidation between the $12.00 and the $14.00 mark. LINK has been trading between the price level since mid-November, and the recent retracement sends it back inside the channel.

LINK has the opportunity to break the trend, but only if LINK continues trading above the $13.00 level support on the short-term chart. If price breaks above the channel, LINK may rise swiftly to the $16.00 level.
